In this short video, a host of Black celebrities shared brief commentaries in support of 'I Am Not Your Negro', an American documentary film that was released in select theaters on February 3, 2017. It is based on James Baldwin's unfinished manuscript 'Remember This House'.
Directed by Raoul Peck and narrated by actor Samuel L. Jackson, the film explores the history of racism in the United States through Baldwin's reminiscences of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature at the 89th Academy Awards this year.
