In this week’s episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Walter Blanks interview Samuel Lee Fudge, the acclaimed actor, writer, and director behind Mosiah, the first narrative film about Marcus Garvey. Fudge discusses his background, education, and creative journey in bringing Garvey’s legacy to the screen. He explores Garvey’s leadership, the Black Star Line, and his ideological clashes with figures like W.E.B. Du Bois. Mr. Fudge delves into the film’s research, production choices, and the challenges of portraying early 20th-century racial struggles. He also reflects on Garvey’s enduring influence on Black nationalism and civil rights, including his posthumous 2025 pardon by President Joe Biden.
