We are working on an article project about Django Unchained and the public imagination of slavery with a colleague of ours in political science (Dr. Terri Jett). I may post some of our thoughts about the project (in a blog friendly form). In the mean time, listen to famed civil rights activist (and comedian) Dick Gregory give his perspective on the film. I am struck by his suggestion that that film "freed the inside of him" like no other (and that he calls Spike Lee a "thug" and a "punk").
