You'll Wish You Were On This Black List

The Black List exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum has nothing to do with HUAC, but there is some Hollywood in it. Photography fans will love this series of portraits of famous African Americans like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Colin Powell and Chris Rock.
Photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and movie critic and commentator Elvis Mitchell collaborated on a Sundance-shown HBO documentary called "The Black List: Volume One" about the African-American experience in America, consisting of interviews with the latter shot by the former. Greenfield-Sanders also took the photographs which make up the exhibit (through March 29, 2009), which debuted in Houston and plans to move beyond Brooklyn next spring.
Got HBO? Watch the documentary "The Black List" before or after you make the trek to the Brooklyn Museum. Don't forget, the museum is free the first Saturday of every month from 5 to 11 pm.
