[edit] Removed "Films" section

I removed the following section (quoted in its entirety) because it was contributed by an IP address associated with California Newsreel. Maybe the information should be included somehow, but I don't know. If it is relevant and worthy of inclusion, I leave it to the regular contributors to this article to determine how it should be included and put it back. -- ke4roh 02:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Films

• Documentary: "John Wideman In Black and White: volume 6" distributed by California Newsreel

[edit] Possible Racism?

I've read Brothers and Keepers, as well as a piece he wrote for the New Yorker in 1996 about his son. Both seemed to have a heavy anti-white slant. Should this be mentioned? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GreatRedShark (talk • contribs) 22:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
