Ariel Copeland, a senior at TJ, remembers reading “Beloved,” the Toni Morrison novel about slavery, in junior English. Copeland, the only black student in the class, squirmed in her seat during discussions. “It was so awkward,” she said. “I could tell people were looking at me.”

After class, some students approached Copeland to apologize for the nation’s history of slavery. “I was like, ‘You don’t have to apologize,’ ” she said.

Lotte Reiniger \ The Dissolve → thedissolve.net

“Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed is widely believed to be the oldest surviving feature-length animated film.  The film’s narrative is based on episodes from The Arabian Nights, and Reiniger took advantage of animation’s ability to represent the imaginary by focusing on some of the more fantastical elements of these stories, such as Achmed’s flying horse. Reiniger used shadow puppets, which she meticulously crafted by hand, in concert with stop-motion techniques, to create a film of technical complexity and haunting beauty.”
