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 Evelyn C. Vaughan, Red Cross program director, returning from the front, an interview about housing for African Americans, and the 92nd Infantry Division fighting in Italy.
