Are you a classic film fan? Do you know about the cancellation of that Gone With the Wind screening in Memphis?
Does this mean the film is going away? (Hint: No, it is not, but many films by People of Color are in danger of going away due to a lack of curation.)
Does the timing of screening this film need to be considered?
Why do some see this as censorship? Isn’t it more about considerate curation?
