Meant to stir provocative debate and add reinforcement to a bold vision for a humanity that embraces all people. Explodes the myth that black America is monolithic. "Black Is . . . Black Ain't," was the film Riggs was working on at the time of his death, and was completed by a group of his friends and colleagues.
