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 a segment about Edward Washington who raises pigeons, the 70th birthday celebration of Mary McLeod Bethune, and W.E.B. Du Bois reporting on the United Nations Conference on International Organization.
