Abstract
Black single mothers face many hardships by being stereotyped by the masses. Hollywood’s depiction of black single mothers in film creates a stigma/stereotype of how black single mothers are in real life that is not correct. Hollywood demonizes the black single mother. It is important to investigate why Hollywood portrays black single mothers in a way where stereotypes can be created. The literature review was created to raise awareness of racism in Hollywood and stereotypes of black single mothers. The analysis will illustrate hollywood as a racist through the film Precious.
