Black Picket Fences : Privilege and Peril Among the Black Middle Class
by Dr. Mary Patillo-McCoy

Filmmakers, if you want a fresh take on the socio-economic situation of African-Americans, please read "Black Picket Fences." It will enliven you and stimulate your imagination as to how we can continually dispel the many myths about African American families and neighborhoods and possibly provide you with a fresh idea for a documentary. The author, Dr. Mary Patillo-McCoy, is a professor at Northwestern University and also a dear friend and supporter of blackfilm.com. We hope that you will read this important literary work.

It can be purchased online through Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com or pick it up on the shelf at Barnes & Noble.
