The short documentary film "Who Is Unita Blackwell?" is a portrait and tribute to Ms. Blackwell, who was jailed 30 times in her pursuit of a humane existence for African Americans and other non-white people living in a state of injustice and segregation during the turbulence of the 1960s; living to become the first black female Mayor in Mississippi. "Who Is Unita Blackwell?" was made possible through funding by The W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
The trailer for "Who Is Unita Blackwell?" is featured as part of "The Ongoing Feminist Revolution: Women in The Civil Rights Movement" which can be viewed HERE.
"Black women in their communities laid the groundwork in the 1940s and 1950s for the civil rights revolution and then worked to translate public victories such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into concrete local results and initiatives. Ella Baker, often identified as the mother of the movement, said it best: 'The movement of the fifties and sixties was carried largely by women.'" - Cleo Visualizing History Website
