Thanks Gil Robertson and African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA)! This is such a great way to preserve the history of film criticism while celebrating the future possibilities. Black film critics have always played an important role in supporting Black cinema, often when it was totally ignored by the mainstream. share.google/RJCPwEKwH9xqtUe… #AAFCA #CelebrateBlackCinema #BlackMovieHallofFame
