Round 5: Tossup 7

In the late 1990s, Roger Guenveur Smith wrote and starred in a one-man play about this organization. For a film about this organization, the lead actress wrote poems her character recites that include the lines “what magic a philistine and a poet could create” and “can it please have your dimples?” Criterion’s Eclipse series couples Uncle Yanco with Agnès Varda’s (“on-YES var-DAH’s”) documentary (15[1])about this (15[1])organization. (15[1])Otto Preminger tries to grab and talks over a member of this organization at a (*) party hosted by Leonard Bernstein in Tom Wolfe’s essay “Radical Chic.” The smear campaign against Jean Seberg was due to her support of this organization, which had its members watch The Battle of Algiers and a Mario Van Peebles movie about Sweet Sweetback. For 10 points, Daniel Kaluuya won an Oscar for playing what organization’s chairman Fred Hampton? ■END■
