G-POP.net Celebrates Black History Month:
What's New At G-POP.net:
Glory - Melissa Minners reviews the award-winning dramatic film about the first all-black regiment in the Union Army.
Excerpt: "A couple of years ago, I had seen the middle of an amazing Civil War movie starring Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, Morgan Freeman and more. I got to watch a couple of battles toward the end of the film, but I never got the opportunity to see the whole movie. Being a Civil War aficionado, I really wanted to see the full film. I finally got the chance..."
The Harlem Hellfighters - Melissa Minners reviews the graphic novel about the African American regiment that fought in the first World War.
Excerpt: "I was looking for things to review for the G-POP.net 2018 Black History Month page when I came across a graphic novel I had never heard before. It tells a fictionalized account of an African American regiment who fought in World War I. Now, we’ve all heard of the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, but I must admit, The Harlem Hellfighters…well, I never heard of them, and I definitely wanted to learn more..."
Hidden Figures - Melissa Minners reviews the dramatic film about the African American women that aided in the success of the American space program.
Excerpt: "Folks who follow G-POP.net on Facebook would know how interested in seeing Hidden Figures after viewing the trailer for the film. I had never heard of these women who helped NASA in their finest hours. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see it in theaters, but I finally got the opportunity to view it the other day..."
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - Melissa Minners reviews the biographical film about Nelson Mandela and his fight for equal rights in South Africa.
Excerpt: "Having learned about South African anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela briefly in school and seeing him in the news quite often during my lifetime, I was immediately interested when I saw previews for a new movie about the man. I was especially interested in seeing the film after I learned that the movie was based upon Nelson Mandela's own autobiography. I figured that Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom had the best chance of being the most accurate portrayal of the man and so, I decided to check the film out..."
Moonlight - Melissa Minners reviews the award-winning dramatic film starring Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris, Janelle Monae and Trevante Rhodes.
Excerpt: "I became a champion for Moonlight after receiving the musical score by Nicholas Britell. It wasn’t just that the music was amazing, it was that the storyline was intriguing. The clips and snippets of video I had seen provided me with a perfect view of the drama in the film. When the film began winning awards for the screenplay, acting and more, I rooted for them all the way, despite having yet to see the film in its entirety. I’ve finally gotten that opportunity..."
March: Book One - Melissa Minners reviews the graphic novel about the Civil Rights Movemene.
Excerpt: "I was recently offered an opportunity to check out the first in a trilogy of graphic novels documenting the Civil Rights Movement. A comic book about some of the most important historic events in the history of the United States? The history buff in me was definitely on board and so, I found myself downloading a copy of March: Book One..."
