Summary
All-American news were the first newsreels produced for a black audience. Made in the 1940s and 1950s, they were originally intended to encourage black Americans to participate in, and support the war effort, and to reflect an African-American perspective on world and national events. Highlights of this issue include segments about African-American artist, Selma Burke, the retirement of Wilmington, Delaware City Councilman, John O. Hopkins, William "Gus" Greenlee, Negro League baseball owner and businessman, signing pitcher Willie Pope, an African-American beach resort in Virginia (Seaview Beach and Amusement Park), and soldiers at a rest camp in India.
