Black Images in Film--The 1940s to the 1960s.

Simpson, Donald

Black Scholar, v21 n2 p20-29 Mar-May 1990

Early images of African Americans in films determined a pattern that survived until World War II. The role of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in creating new images of African Americans after the war films is profiled. Although changes seem modest, they reflect some social movements. (SLD)
