An old post about my grandmother went viral online. She was definitely a trendsetter, did what she wanted, and acted however she wanted to. Black History, indeed

Vintage Black Hollywood aka Black Glamour

During the early 20th century Black Americans started producing their own films these were known as "race films" due to them being created for Black audiences and predominantly viewed by them. If a film had an all black cast it was considered a race film as well. This period lasted from the 1900s to the 1950s. Here are some classic films from that time.

Stormy Weather (1943)

Hi-De-Ho (1947)

Carmen Jones (1954)

Anna Lucasta (1958)
