    Default Grrr... I Can't Remember the Title of this Film!

    Okay film buffs, I need your help on this one. I'm taking a course on Identity Politics and I'm trying to find this film:

    It is an old black and white movie about the relationship between a "light-skinned" black girl and her mother... Throughout her life, the daughter refuses to identify herself as African American, and subsequently rejects her dark skinned mother.... I can't for the life of me remember the title, but there was a scene when the mother brought the daughter her lunch to school, and the teacher said "but we don't have any Negro children in our class," and the mom is like "yes you do, my daughter is right there." And the daughter gets all upset b/c she doesn't want anyone to know she is black... And she doesn't accept herself until her mother is dead.

    Any help would be much appreciated!
    i used to dream militant dreams / of taking over america / to show these white folks how it should be done
    i used to dream radical dreams / of blowing everyone away / with my perceptive powers of correct analysis
    i even used to think / id be the one to stop the riot and negotiate the peace / then i awoke and dug
    that if i dreamed natural dreams / of being a natural woman
    doing what a woman does / when shes natural
    i would have a revolution

    I love that movie too, its incredible. See, that's why I can never remember my favorite 10. That final scene with Mahalia Johnson singing...omigod I cried so much!

    Do you think a re-make of such movie would fare well today?
