From "Race" Films to Blockbusters!We'll be showing films from different eras to showcase Black contributions to movie history.

Oscar Micheaux's Within Our Gates. Micheaux's silent classic from 1920 is the oldest surviving "race film" - the term used to describe movies produced for Black audiences and with predominantly Black casts. The film is notable for depicting racial violence under the Jim Crow system.
