Black Cinema: The Vintage Years documents the turbulent history of the African-American film industry and its struggle for equality in the twentieth century. The exhibit features more than 50 original screen-printed and stone-lithographed posters for so-called race pictures, which paralleled Hollywood productions but were produced by black-owned film companies with black directors and actors.
