Please read Franklin’s thread above. The whole thing. About comic books. And then imagine it wasn’t comic books, but historical photographs of enslaved people. That someone buys & makes into a “collection” on IG. And then publicizes it right before his movie on enslavement drops.

Based on @franklinleonard’s thread above, I went to IG. Imagine my disgust in finding that @JoeyMcFarland, #Emancipation producer, has branded his newly acquired photos of enslaved people as the #McFarlandCollection, & started posting right after @Emancipation wrapped filming.

Boosting for @THR @DEADLINE @Variety @IndieWire @shadowandact @RottenTomatoes @theaafca and some of of my favorite film critics, including @ValerieComplex @WMorales_BFTV @FilmFatale_NYC @THATJacqueline @battymamzelle @DoctorJonPaul @BpopeTV

I just don’t understand. If this is the original photo as he said, not only should it be in a museum like the @NMAAHC, but it shouldn’t be subjected to the body heat, light, and even air that folks are breathing on it.
