| Description: | The African American Cinema Collection presents posters, lobby cards, and press books from the 1920s to the 1990s. This collection is unique in the Southeast and illustrates the often-delicate business of selling race-related movies to white and black audiences. The strength of the collection resides in the period from 1920-1980, which can be divided into four chronological and thematic topics: race films (1920-1949), “integration” motion pictures (1950-1959), movies that reconsider the South (1960-1969), and blaxploitation films (1970-1980). The collection is keyword searchable. Due to copyright constraints on this ephemeral material, no digital representations of collection materials are as yet available. |
