School Daze: Good or Bad Hair


I'm not sure who has seen this movie.

School Daze, 1988, directed and starring Spike Lee. The movie also stars, Laurence Fishburne, Tisha Campbell-Martin and Ossie Davis.


I would consider School Daze to be a movie that highlights the satire in African American college life.


Nonetheless, It is a movie in my DVD collection and I love it :)
There is an interesting clip in this movie that covers many of the "good and bad hair" myths and ideas. It makes it even more interesting because it is in musical format.
Take note of the color dynamics of the two groups of girls, the "Wannabes" and "Jiggaboos."
If you have already seen it. . then OK. . but if you haven't, check it out.

"We're talking about good and bad hair. . whether your dark or your fair" (song excerpt)
