EXCERPT:
VAN PEEBLES: “It is. But it forces you to look at the totality of humanity and say, I’m not interested in just what the problems are. We know there’s darkness. We know that it was illegal to teach enslaved people how to read. Soon in Florida, it may be illegal to read about an enslaved person. So, we know you have problems of education. I know my daughters might not have the same freedoms that their moms had. Just the freedom to vote is being encroached on. You know, the right to go to school and not get shot at. So, we know there’s problems.”
