Black Gold: A Thrilling Epic of the Oil Fields, 1928
01
Artifact Overview
In the early 20th century, some independent film studios produced motion pictures for the African American market. Films made by these studios featured all-Black casts and provided actors with positive, non-stereotypical roles. Norman Studios, a white-owned company in Jacksonville, Florida, made several such films during the 1920s. This lobby card advertises its 1928 production of the film Black Gold.
