- <p> DIED. MARLON RIGGS, 37, filmmaker; from AIDS; in Oakland, California.
- Riggs' provocative films dealt with America's bias against--and fascination with--sexual and racial outsiders. He won
- an Emmy for Ethnic Notions, an analysis of racism in pop Americana,
- and he provoked controversy with Tongues Untied, a portrait
- of African-American gay life that was a favorite target for
- right-wing critics of the National Endowment for the Arts, which
- helped fund it.
