The Black List Project

The Black List Project might sound like a clandestine mafia association, but don’t let the sharp name fool you. The mastermind of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Elvis Mitchell, The Black List Project is actually a personal documentary which follows a journey into what being black in America is really about. Among the sounds and sights in the film are infamous names in literature, entertainment, sports and education including the likes of Serena Williams, Chris Rock, Colin Powell, Toni Morrison, Russell Simmons, Al Sharpton, Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, and Sean Combs. Photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders captures twenty-five striking portraits which will be presented at the Brooklyn Museum now through March 29, 2009.
