In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

You may not know the name Barbara Harris, but you probably should. She is not only a founding member of the Second City and a Tony Award winning stage actress, but she's also given some of the most nuanced performances in 20th century American cinema--and especially in her Oscar-nominated role (for Best Supporting Actress!) in the relatively obscure 1971 experimental flop "Who is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?" This week we're doing a deep dive into her tour de force performance (in about 12 minutes of screen time) to celebrate every little nuance, and also spend some time sorting through some thoughts and feelings on the Best Actress upset/delight at this year's Oscars...
