DVD Bits - Issues of Race
by ryanikoglu
In honor of African-American History Month, don't forget movies that tell stories of crossing racial barriers in America. Imitation of Life is the same story told twice in films of 1934 and 1959. Both films are on one DVD. A Patch of Blue with Sidney Poitier and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner with Katherin Hepburn and Spencer Tracy; Corrina, Corrina with Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta; and Ruby Bridges who was the first child to integrate her local elementary school in New Orleans.
