On November 7th, 2018, Menelek Lumumba, a Colorado College alumni visited the college to show his film “1 Angry Black Man“.  Mr. Lumumba opened by telling us that the film is a love letter to a liberal arts education and a tribute to continue with open conversations.  The film’s setting is college English class where they discuss life and books. The writers featured changed the world by writing down their experiences.  Education is a tool, a resource, a weapon, but it is not a protection.  Open conversations with those who you disagree with allow you to sharpen your intellectual sword.   Lumumba also discussed how you write the script, you shoot the script and then you re-write the script while you edit the film.  If you have a chance to see the film, it is worth it.  I can’t wait to see what else Lumumba creates next.
