The Library of African Cinema: Films from Africa made by Africans, offering restorative images and a new film language. Several of the newest releases touch upon issues such as war, human rights and the AIDS pandemic.
African American Perspectives: The video resources in this collection provide historical, cultural, political and sociological chronicles about the people and events that have shaped America from slavery to the present day.
