HIGHER LEARNING REVIEW BY RONDA RACHA PENRICE
John Singleton’s 1995 film, Higher Learning, brings the adage of college being a microcosm of the world to life. Looking back at, arguably, his most overlooked film, it’s hard to miss the similarities of then to right now, particularly social issues like racial polarization, the threat of white power groups, need for gun control, sexual assault and systemic racism. Some may call it prescient, while others will note it affirmation of the changing same. A Black college student athlete, in this instance Omar Epps as Malik Williams, trying to find his way at Columbus University where Black students are subjected to a constant barrage of microaggressions is not a reality of the past. Neither are school shootings, racial bias in college curriculums, financial difficulties and more. Sadly, racism, sexism and violence have not disappeared. Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, Regina King, Michael Rapaport, Kristy Swanson, Busta Rhymes and Jennifer Connelly round out a film that may just come second to Boyz N the Hood for its blistering social commentary.
