Academy Award nominee Cicely Tyson in Mama Flora’s Family.
Black Life and butter, the unforgettable story of a courageous woman.
My name is Lincoln. My name is flora.
You ain’t the first, and you ain’t gonna be the last.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
He just wanted to be four souls,
you know? And her two sons.
One lost at birth. The child could become an embarrassment
if it grows up in the wrong hands.
Where he taking my baby? One lost to the system.
I ain’t your child no more, mama.
Where you gone? Back to Chicago.
Them gamblers and Hooters and open jaking yourself to death.
And the epic struggle. What do you think about that?
Come on, watch it.
To reunite a family. He said, look,
no problem. Is daddy going to prison?
Not if I have anything to say about it.
Critics hailed Mama Flora as a firming.
What is this, one of those sit ins?
What you gonna do with this little old lady?
Beat me up and go about bragging what a big man you is?
And terrifically cast and acted,
Blair Underwood,
Mario Van Peebles,
Queen Latifah
and Cicely Tyson.
Folks wish they had sometimes a great big old crystal ball
just to let them know how things gonna turn out.
That’s not the way it works, baby.
