"Nobody's canceling these movies," says TCM host Ben Mankiewicz. "Our job is not to get up and say, 'Here's a movie that you should feel guilty about for liking.' But to pretend that the racism in it is not painful and acute? No. I do not want to shy away from that. This was inevitable. And welcomed. And overdue."
TCM, where Stewart became the first Black host in September 2019, will apply a similar concept with its new series devoted to legendary films that often are problematic to today's audiences for their approach to race, gender and LGBTQ issues. Reframed will feature the network's five hosts in roundtable discussions of such films as Gone With the Wind, The Searchers, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Woman of the Year and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner from a 21st century perspective.

The past is not to be cancelled. Whether it's movies, books, statues, school mascots, etc, we learn from our past
