A TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM GREAVES

Director, producer and writer William Greaves began his career as a featured actor on Broadway and in motion pictures. His dedication, professionalism, creative and academic abilities behind and in front of the camera earned him over 60 international film festival awards, including an Emmy and four Emmy nominations. In 1980, he was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, and in the same year he was the recipient of a special "homage" at the first Black American Independent Film Festival in Paris. In 1986, he received an "Indy" - the special Life Achievement Award - from the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers.

For two years, Greaves served as executive producer and co-host of the pioneering network television series Black Journal, for which he was awarded an Emmy.
