Equally devastating, the late Marlon Riggs argued, have been the definitions of "blackness" African Americans impose upon one another which contain and reduce the black experience. In this film, Riggs meets a cross- section of African Americans grappling with the paradox of numerous, often contradictory definitions of blackness. 541 0 PFA 1620-01-15356.
