Lebron James's SpringHill Company is collaborating with CNN Films to create a documentary that examines the history of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, according to news release.
Dubbed "DREAMLAND: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street," the film will look at the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma's Greenwood district -- better known as "Black Wall Street" -- and the devastating history of the race massacre that followed.
"We cannot move forward until we acknowledge our past and this is about honoring a prosperous, booming Black community, one of many, that was brought to an end because of hate," Jamal Henderson, SpringHill's chief content officer and one of the executive producers of the documentary, said in the news release.
"With the lack of historic journalism around 'Black Wall Street' and the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, we are honored to be partnered with CNN, which has a long-standing record of credible and groundbreaking journalism," he continued.
James will serve as one of the executive producers of the film, along with Salima Koroma who will be the director.
"CNN Films could not be more proud to partner with The SpringHill Company for this long-overdue recognition of the tragedy of what happened in Greenwood, and to contribute to the reconciliation that comes with the acknowledgment of history," said Amy Entelis, executive vice president for talent and content development for CNN Worldwide in a news release. "Salima Koroma's vision will yield a truly thoughtful film."
Sen, Kamala Harris released the follwing statement on the confirmation of Amy Barret:
Senate Republicans jammed through this nomination in the middle of an election where over 60 million Americans have already voted. Senate Republicans have ignored the will of the people, deciding instead to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – who devoted her life to fighting for equal justice – with someone who was selected to undo her legacy.
President Trump repeatedly made clear that he would only nominate judges who would get rid of the Affordable Care Act. President Trump and Senate Republicans are determined to take away health care coverage and protections for people with preexisting conditions. On November 10, Trump administration lawyers will be before the Supreme Court arguing to strike down the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. This is a big reason why Senate Republicans rushed this confirmation. If they succeed, millions of people will lose access to health care in the middle of a devastating pandemic that has killed over 225,000 Americans and sickened millions more.
The American people see this confirmation for what it is: an illegitimate move that will set our country back for generations. Access to health care is now in jeopardy. Our voting rights are now in jeopardy. Workers’ rights are now in jeopardy. LGBTQ equality is now in jeopardy. The right to a safe and legal abortion is now in jeopardy. The ability to address a changing climate is now in jeopardy. And so much more.
I share the American people’s outrage at this rushed process to confirm a nominee who has the potential to do great harm.
Sen. Cory Booker released the following statement on the Senate comfirmation n of Judge Amy Coney Barrett
Senate Republicans have violated processes, violated rules, violated their word and, most importantly, violated the will of the American people
This will go down as one of the darker moments in the history of the United States Senate.
