In the Shadow of Hollywood: Race Movies and the Birth of Black Cinema

Sep 15, 2007

Filmmaking pioneers like Oscar Micheaux, the Noble brothers, and Spencer Williams, Jr. left a lasting influence on black filmmakers, and inspired generations of audiences who finally saw their own lives reflected on the silver screen.
