Lemonade. The work is a popular culture phenomenon and alludes to infidelity and betrayal while portraying strong messages of black feminism. Meanwhile, as Beyoncé reclaims her personal narrative as a celebrity icon, the forthcoming film
The Birth of a Nation reclaims the story of the Nat Turner slave rebellion. Host
Frank Stasio talks with
Natalie Bullock Brown, professor of film and broadcast media at St. Augustine's University, and
Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African & African American studies at Duke University, about the impact of
