Did You Know?

According to the 1930 census, the African-American population consisted of:
Clergy   (25,084)
Musicians (10,583)
Nurses    (5,728)
Physicians (3,805)
College Presidents/Professors (5,126)
Dentists (1,746)
Lawyers/Judges (1,230)

One would never know this if one were to view African Americans as they were portrayed in films during that era. UNLESS one were to view a film by Oscar Micheaux

No race of people can be well-served by allowing their portrayals to be controlled by another race of people.

If you’re unsatisfied with the way the people who resemble you are portrayed in the media, and you’re unwilling to support those who can portray you accurately…

You have no right to complain!

Don’t Complain …Compete!

Make films, not excuses!
