Take Your Bags
Billops tells her grandson what happened to the things that slaves transported from Africa to America took with them. An officer greeted them with the words: I will take your bags, with the assurance that the belongings will be returned to them on the spot. Eventually, pictures, maps and masks ended up in museums.
Camille Billops
As a director, she created as a duo with James Hatch; she – a ceramic artist, sculptor, painter, and he – a historian of African American theatre, documentary filmmaker and creator of an extensive archive of African American art. Their films focus on the personal and social problems of black women and men from the Camille Billops family circle and the artistic community that coalesced in the couple's New York apartment. Their Finding Christa received the Grand Jury Prize at the 1992 Sundance Festival.
