The Role Of Documentary Films In Black Emanncipation In The Usa: The Case Of Anfelais “Rosa Parks Biography” And Frank’s “Rosa Parks Change” (2020)
This study titled “Resistance and Social Change in Emma Frank’s Rosa Parks change history and Maya Angelou’s Rosa Parks’ biography” it focuses on issues of how blacks in the Twentieth Century American society are racially discriminated and segregated because of the color of their skin or their race. This study also highlights issues of resistance in relation to how blacks in the selected texts resist these racial inequalities. This study is based on the proposition that Africa Americans in the selected texts suffer racial injustice and struggle to vindicate themselves from these inequalities by resisting the acts. This research used the Postcolonial theory as a method to reflect reality, understand and interpret issues of race in the selected texts. From the analysis of the films in contexts, this work affirms that while racial discrimination and segregation are being practiced on Americans in the selected texts, the African Americans resist these inequalities for positive change.
