The term, "black list," once defined Communist investigations by the U.S. government in the 1950s.
But now, a new HBO documentary is redefining that term.
The Black List is a documentary, featuring 22 prominent black Americans — from Gen. Colin Power to erotica writer Zane — having their say.
It is the brain child of director Timothy Greenfield Sanders and journalist Elvis Mitchell. Both speak with Farai Chideya.
