In honor of its 100th anniversary, the NAACP has teamed up with Blockbuster to identify the top 100 movies for and about African Americans that have had a significant impact on American society and culture.
The NAACP has nominated nearly 1,000 movies that were released during the 100 years since the organization was founded, such as "Roots," "Foxy Brown," "Boyz 'N The Hood," and "Brown Sugar."
From now until April 27, you can help the NAACP select the top 100 films by rating films on the NAACP Top 100 website. The films are displayed on a timeline alongside key events in civil rights and NAACP history. The site also provides a summary of the film, cast and director information, and the movie's trailer to help you decide.
The final list will be announced in June.
