"A Mighty Epic Of Modern Morals!"

 

Vincent Williams and Len Webb of The Micheaux Mission stop by the show to talk about the first "race film" inducted into the National Film Registry, and it's...not by Oscar Micheaux. We're talking about actor/director Spencer Williams' 1941 morality play The Blood of Jesus. We tackle the equally complex topics of race, religion, and whether Madea Goes to Jail or Boo 2! A Madea Halloween is getting into the Registry first.
