African American Month
A Documentary Trilogy
BOND BLACK FIDDLERS DOVE
Three films. One century. One continuous tradition of resistance, of expression, of what African American life and culture made possible — from the first Black fiddlers of the colonial era to the poets and leaders who defined the twentieth century. The argument is stronger when the films are seen together, and the institutions that present them together will be making an argument of their own about what African American culture
means to the present moment.

DOVE
Julian Bond: Reflections from the Frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement, Rita Dove: An American Poet, and Black Fiddlers together run approximately three hours, making the trilogy programmable as a single afternoon, an evening with two intermissions, a three-night series, or an anchor for a longer seminar on twentieth-century African American history and culture. The films are available through Heritage Film Project's distribution partners — Kanopy and Alexander Street Press — reaching more than forty thousand public and academic libraries worldwide.
I am inviting African American studies departments, history and humanities programs, public libraries and cultural centers, HBCU film and arts programs, and institutions dedicated to the preservation and celebration of African American history across the United States and beyond to consider programming the trilogy together.
