i remember her amazing interpretation of one of the wpa slave narratives that she was one of the dozenactors who contributed to the 2003 documentary "unchained memories." we can learn from her more than half century of commitment to her craft that you contribute, you disseminate, you struggle with the media to put forward deep, complex interpretations. you may live to see a younger generation reap rewards and you might even live long enough to see the honoring of those who came before you, or you yourself. yesterday's opening plenary discussed the beguilement of the archives. many of us are equally beguiled by the darkened cinema. just as seth rahman is an archival optimist, i am proclaiming myself a cinematic anti-pessimist. i've been teaching a course on american icons of late, moving my classroom from northern ireland to texas. will find it interesting to see how students respond. i'm certainly look to films to help them understand the american past, and rather than disputing this i thinkly better to interrogate these tales, these myths. many have worked so long to try to quan time
