8 Black Love/Black Classics Movies: Black History Month Meets Valentine's Day

Ideas for Staying at Home on Valentine's Day — with Netflix

By , About.com Guide

February is the month for two special events: Valentine's Day and Black History Month. How can you observe both at the same time?

A local Brooklyn college, part of the City University of New York system, linked the two observances through a Black History Month film festival on February 14th, showing the following flicks.

The Medgar Evers Media Center Black Love/Black Classics Films Screening include:

  1. Carmen Jones
  2. Glory
  3. A Raisin in the Sun
  4. Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
  5. Lady Sings the Blues
  6. Sankofa
  7. For Colored Girls
  8. Stormy Weather

If you're lucky enough to be in New York, you can attend these films at Medgar Evers College on February 14, 2012. And if not, well, there's always Netflicks...

Happy Valentine's Day! And here's to Black History Month!
