Beyoncé's dad Mathew Knowles signs memoir movie deal

Mathew Knowles has struck a deal to adapt his memoir, 'Racism From the Eyes of a Child,' into both a film and a limited series. According to Variety, the project has been taken by the production company Say Unkel Entertainment. The first half of Knowles’ memoir will reportedly be covered in the feature film, recounting his early years growing up in Alabama during the 1960s. The film will detail his experience of race riots and how he was one of six black students to attend an all-white school. His memoir also discusses how Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Turner and Ralph Abernathy shaped the person he is today. "These are the men who made me proud and women who taught me to fight back,” Knowles told Variety. He has previously managed his daughters Beyoncé and Solange, as well as Destiny's Child and Chaka Khan.
