AAFCA sends our deepest condolences to the family of our dear brother, @darylelockhart who transition this weekend. Daryle was so much more than one of the founding members of our organization, who served as East Coast Vice President. He was more importantly a good man and a treasured friend who will forever be missed. On behalf of our entire membership may his soul rest in eternal peace.
This weekend Michelle Satter, Founding Senior Director of Sundance Institute’s Artist Programs, received The African American Film Critics Association’s Film Advocate Award for her unwavering commitment to independent film. Michelle has championed storytellers for over four decades, developing programs that build careers, communities, and movements through the Sundance institute Labs. Congratulations, Michelle! 📷: Sheri Determan
A spectacular time was had by all as AAFCA wrapped up our 2026 film award season with the 9th Special Achievement Awards Luncheon where we bestowed career honors to absolute LEGENDS. Nina Shaw, @Lorrie Bartlett, Michelle Satter, Nikkole Denson-Randolph, Tom Bernard and Michael Barker. It doesn't get better than this.
Today we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson — a relentless voice for justice, equality, and human dignity. His powerful declaration ‘I Am Somebody’ wasn’t just words… it was a movement that lifted hearts and empowered lives. May his courage continue to inspire us all to stand up, speak out, and believe in our worth.
