Additional Details

'Showing a part of the history of the Negro race such characters as Booker T., Washington, George W. Carver, Dorrie Miller, Joe Louis and others. Also showing the boys on the battle fronts in World War 1 and 2 and the Negro WACS of which we are so proud.' A rare placard. Frank Capra, who had directed 'It's A Wonderful Life,' and other 'feel good' films, was a natural to direct this film aimed at the black community in wartime.
