In the first half of the 1990’s, Spike Lee, John Singleton, and Mario Van Peebles forced the issue of WEB DuBois’s four tenets of black film: by, for, about, and near us. Women started to participate, Leslie Harris, Julie Dash created great films. But these were all before 1996. The second half of the 1990s saw Hollywood fail to maintain a new generation of black genius.
