Osceola Mays - Stories, Songs and Poems
Directed by Alan Govenar1996 27mShort
The setting is simple, but the stories, songs, and poems of Osceola Mays are remarkable indeed. In them, the past is recounted with a reverent intensity that expresses the deeply felt emotions of three generations of black Texans. They are are a metaphor for the African-American struggle for survival and chronicle three generations of suffering and hope.
