Hinton Collection at the Harvard Film Archive. Hinton was a Black photographer, cinematographer, and filmmaker mostly known as an active participant in and documentarian for the Civil Rights Movement. He captured many of the violent reactions to the Civil Rights Movement in the American South, such as the shooting of Lester James in Seneca, South Carolina. Hinton's work provides a look into how media, such as film, can be used to convey messages of liberation. The films of Hinton that are included in this museum room tackle radical themes such as the role of Black elites in decolonization, capitalism and its relation to Black Liberation, and the Black Power Movement.
