1970s > USA > blaxploitation / blaxploitation pictures

The 1970s produced the genre

that would later come to be known

as 'Blaxploitation'.

The film genre

emerged during this decade

as films were made specifically

with an urban black audience

in mind.

The term 'Blaxploitation' emerges

from a fusion of the words

black and exploitation.

These movies were larger-than-life,

action-packed,

and full of funk and soul music.

Known not only for their exciting nature,

these films also involved progressive

social and political commentary.

From Pam Grier to Bill Cosby,

check out who delved into this genre

and what the actors have been doing

since the '70s ...
