"The Black Power MixTape" Excerpts from the Acclaimed Swedish Documentary FULL FILM DESCRIPTION http://blackpowermixtape.com/ In the late '60s, after the assassination of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, the civil rights movement in America gave way to a more militant breed of activists who were demanding greater self-determination for the African-American community and the right to defend themselves against a system they felt was stacked against them. A number of journalists for Swedish television were fascinated with the rise of the Black Panther Party and the larger Black Power movement, and on several occasions sent film crews to the United State to interview major figures in the African-American militant community. Filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson has used some of this archival footage as the basis for the documentary The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975, which includes vintage interviews with Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, Huey P. Newton, Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Louis Farrakhan, and other key figures in the Black Power movement. The newsreels are accompanied by recent interviews with artists, activists, and cultural historians who discuss this volatile period in American history, including Harry Belafonte, Abiodun Oyewole, Melvin Van Peebles, and many others. The Black Power Mixtape was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

Courteney Cox Discovers Royal Drama In Her Family Tree | Who Do You Think You Are? Courteney Cox visits the exact place where Edward II was held captive, something with which her ancestors may have been involved. "Who Do You Think You Are?" - Courteney Cox https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6615152/ [Written 1/2/2020 Courteney Cox is from the line of King David and there is proof that its an accurate statement. This includes messianic bloodline with the bloodline being traced thru the Merovingian French kings. Courteney's messianic heritage goes thru both Jesus and James his brother, so dual Desposyni heritage and her bloodline can trace to Henry II of England (1133-1189). Also, just from observation of Courteney's genetical makeup, she is in our opinion, of very pure Hittite origins of the same DNA of Abraham and Sarah, and King David. How do we know? Courteney's bloodline was researched on March 15, 2017.] Wednesday, March 15, 2017 "Who Do You Think You Are?" - Courteney Cox Is it here again already? I'm not ready!! Surprisingly, even though it has been several months since the last episode of Who Do You Think You Are? aired on TLC (in May 2016), I really was unprepared for this new season. The first episode was broadcast the day before I went out of town for a week, so I was unable to rewatch it until this past weekend. And that, of course, has put me behind already, because the second episode has aired before I could write up my commentary on the first. I hope I can catch up soon. That said, I'm a little more optimistic about this season than the past couple, as I recognize the names of more than half of the celebrities featured. Progress! The season began with Courteney Cox. The teaser at the beginning said that she would unveil a web of mystery and intrigue on her mother's family line. She would learn about scheming ancestors with big ambitions. One ancestor paid a grisly price ("drawn and hanged?"), while another was a big name in history. The opening shots show Cox walking on a beach but do not identify where she is. It was California; my best guesses for the specific location are Malibu or Santa Monica. She says she is excited about the journey she will be taking and doesn't know what is ahead. Something "a little naughty" might be ok. She jokes about Buckingham Palace and then says that isn't possible, because her family would have been shouting it from the rooftops. (Naw, no foreshadowing here, none at all, right?) Cox didn't really expect to become an actress, because she is originally from Alabama, not known for having produced many well known actors. After moving to New York to pursue her dream, her big break came when she appeared in Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" video (1984). Highlights of her career mentioned are Family Ties (1987–1989), Friends (1994–2000, and from which I recognize her), the Scream series of movies (1996–2000), and Cougar Town (2009–2015). She directed ten episodes of Cougar Town and two feature films. (I don't now why everyone always wants to direct. Directing is not all it's cracked up to be. I much prefer working audio.) Cox says she is thankful for her career and her family. She is the youngest of four children. Her father, Richard Lewis Cox (who died in 2001), was the youngest of five. Sundays were spent at family gatherings with her father's relatives, and family history was talked about. It was very different with her mother's side of the family, as her maternal grandfather died when her mother was only six weeks old. Cox knows his name — Bruce Bass — and that she is supposed to have English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry, but that's about it. Now that she's getting a little older (one day younger than my sister!), she wants to know more about that side of the family. She hopes her ancestors made some kind of a mark but that they didn't murder anyone (more oh-so-subtle foreshadowing). Her "journey" begins in her own home with the ever-popular Joseph Shumway, who on this episode is credited simply as "Genealogist" (thereby downplaying his position as an Ancestry.com employee). The first thing he does is open his laptop and jump onto Ancestry, which apparently has decided that subtlety is for fools. He tells Cox he has built a family tree using vital records and other documents and shows her the online tree he has created. No photos are shown for Cox or her parents (Richard Lewis Cox, 1931–2001, and Courteney B. Bass, living), but there is one for her grandfather Samuel Bruce Bass, Jr. Cox has never seen the photo before and asks where it came from; Shumway says it is from the family member she suggested as a contact. So even though we never see or hear from any family members during the entire episode, at least one person was involved in some way. http://www.ancestraldiscoveries.com/2017/03/who-do-you-think-you-are-courteney-cox.html?fbclid=IwAR3sF0Y4BdTyXSjlR8XXbDGzgjnqdYkPTfqTLu0tGwkrKPXX0G5NTiveXlU
