Let me emphasize first that this DVD has universal appeal. The Black List is a video compilation of 25 stunning interviews of American persons of color who are exceptional individuals from a variety of life undertakings. I saw the exhibit of their vivid, bigger than life still photo portraits at the Brooklyn Museum, and then sat down there to watch this video. All of the biographical interviews are interesting and effectively edited, most are captivating, and at least four are spectacular: Bill Jones, the dancer and choreographer, Chris Rock, the comedian, Serena Williams, the tennis player, and Vernon Jordan, who is the perfect man of the day for almost anything. Each interview gives you a sense of their groundings in family, the molding of their ambitions, their achievements, and their values. The derth of supporting material with the DVD makes you thirst for more information. An inspiring DVD for any young person.
