Black Cinema Treasures: Lost and Found

Black Cinema Treasures: Lost and Found

by Ossie Davis (Foreword), G. William Jones (Author)

Synopsis

Focusing on a much-neglected area of film experience in America, Black Cinema Treasures furthers the preservation of America's cultural and historic heritage, especially its African-American heritage as seen through the eyes of the African-American independent filmmakers of the 1920s through the 1950s. Ossie Davis says that the collection is one of the best sources of black self-consciousness in America during those decades.
