and it all began with her longtime friend and collaborator, spike lee. ruth carter: i have worked with spike lee for 14 films, i think-- 12, 14 films. i do consider him my first mentor in the film business, because he was the one that told me how to be prepared for what we were going to shoot. and as we grew together and did films like "malcolm x" and "mo better blues" and "do the right thing," we discovered that we both have a desire to tell authentic stories about black lives. my favorite film that i designed for would be "malcolm x." i had five floors of the costumes. it was like the "malcolm x" department store, where the '20s was at the ground floor and it went all the way up to the '60s. i was young. we were all eager. we were all really psyched about telling the story of malcolm x. i've had steven spielberg tell me he enjoyed that film.t, his dad took him to see malcolm x, and he remembered the costumes. danielle robay: ruth worked with steven spielberg on 1997's "amistad," and in 2016, she met with ryan coogler to discuss working on marvel's newe

because spike lee 1 did just that and there have been many many depictions of factual principles which in our american story. have driven people to take a view back into history and really examine the stories we have been distorted we have been told and hopefully with the younger generations it will allow them and prompt them to dig deeper into america's history in order to make the country's future not the same as. you know it's interesting i read last per for a 2nd they're all poor going to back but i think what he said had a lot of power and meaning to it when he talked about the reasons as to why malcolm x. percent of such a real threat to this country you know and why you couldn't see the n.y.p.d. the f.b.i. saying maybe we need to take him out but absolutely i think that you know part of that is because they were already a little bit nervous more than a little bit nervous about black muslims in general in the nation of islam but also because not the barack megamix commanded hundreds of thousands of people this man is our leadership was really strong i want to bring back to perry
