Rainbow Black: Poet Sarah Webster Fabio (1976)

The film depicts the life and work of Webster Fabio, who died in 1979, through interviews and clips of her recording poetry albums for Folkways Records. The poet and educator is often credited as being the "Mother of Black Studies" for helping establish programs at UC Berkeley and Merritt College in the 1960s, and the film portrays her as "a spirited woman, sassy one minute and scholarly and critical the next minute," said Fabio.
