Marlon passed away prior to completion of his final work, Black Is...Black Ain't.

I saw that too. I used your suggested phrasing to correct it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.86.248.1 (talk) 21:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Affirmations and Anthem linked to the general pages for each, and no unique page seems to exist for either of these films.

Thanks to figurefour44 for adding Mulholland's quote on Marlon. A beautiful sentiment, exquisitely written. Had me pumping my fist. Captures Marlon Riggs, nails him. Chrish65 (talk) 17:05, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Week 5

I can add more background in this article. I can expand on his poetry subtopic, expand on themes and styles, and add more on his influences and inspiration. Add more his information about the person he was in and outside the word. Who did he get all the ideas from? Who was behind this all?
