The Black List Project Coming Soon

The Black List Project was conceived of by photographer/filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders with Elvis Mitchell, public radio host and former New York Times film critic. It consists of a number of components including a film, a book, a traveling portrait exhibition and an educational initiative. The project was produced by the media collective Freemind Ventures. The idea was to interview, film and photograph prominent African Americans of various professions, disciplines and backgrounds. These stories and insights on the struggles, triumphs and joys of black life in this country would work toward re-defining "blacklist" for a new century in the process.


The Black List Project is the pilot program to the ambitious and larger Freemind Ventures effort titled One Million Stories. As The Black List collects the stories of some of our most noted African-American luminaries, One Million Stories will inspire and
enable national youth organizations, local advocates, social groups and individuals of all ages and circumstances to tell their own stories, their own defining moments. One Million Stories considers that as we each tell our own story, the subtle and seismic voice of each person's narrative illuminates not just what makes us different...but what makes us the same.
