AUTHOR WIL HAYGOOD IS A NATIONAL TREASURE

COLORIZATION, HIS LATEST BOOK, IS A MUST-READ


Wil Haygood is one of America’s finest writers.

With each book, his storytelling grows more confident. His way with words that much more enticing and entertaining.

In addition to being an outstanding newspaper journalist with the Boston Globe and Washington Post, Haygood has produced several biographies of African Americans.

Colorization – One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World, is not a book solely focused on racism. But racism in the film industry resonates all through the book. 

And spoiler alert: institutional and obscene racism didn’t end during World War II, during the great 1960s Civil Rights Movement, not with the rise of Spike Lee and frustrating – not well into the 21st century.
