S. Pearl Sharp in the Spotlight Again


Our congratulations once again go out to S. Pearl Sharp, whose award-winning documentary The Healing Passage/ Voices from the Water has been picked up by the Documentary Channel! Tune in with us to the next broadcast on March 9th at 9:00pm (ET). In this documentary, prominent cultural artists explore the present-day echoes from the slave trade, and explore the use of artwork in creating paths to heal, using everything from dolls to altars, ritual, music, dance, and the spoken word. The documentary, finished in 2004, runs 90 minutes, and was called “Beautiful and Challenging…” by the Los Angeles Times. Find it on DISH Network channel 197, or DIRECTV channel 267, and learn more about the movie at www.TheHealingPassage-Voices.com. For even more of the vibrant and varied hallmarks in black history, be sure to check out S. Pearl Sharp’s book, Black Women For Beginners.
