Some of the civil rights marchers at the brutal "Bloody Sunday" beatings in 1965 were cast as extras in SELMA's (2014) pivotal scene on Edmund Pettus Bridge. Actor David Oyelowo explains what it was like to shoot the scene in @ava's film with @ProfJStewart at the @AcademyMuseum.

Score — only drums—composed and performed by jazz great and Oscar Micheaux admirer Max Roach. Stunning. Notice when he goes silent. #SymbolofTheUnconquered #TCMParty

Katherine Dunham was a brilliant, pioneering dancer, choreographer, scholar (UChicago trained anthropologist) and activist. Blows my mind to see her in this film. #tcmparty
