Oscar Micheaux
The Dean of Black Cinema
Oscar Micheaux
is our hero!
and his historical groundbreaking efforts in filmmaking in early racist
Hollywood served as both the model and inspiration for our creating
the Museum of African American Cinema. Micheaux is
one of earliest and most successful Black filmmakers, who is
known as "the Dean" of Black cinema who wrote, directed,
and produced over 30 black films from 1919 to 1940.
Take a trip back in time and view vintage and rare African American
movies, old films, and movie posters at the Museum of African
American Cinema in New York, NY.
Whether you're a movie buff or a student of the role played by
African Americans throughout American media history, you'll be treated
to an experience that is as informative as it is entertaining.
From the pioneering work of such legends as Bessie Smith -- who could
only be hired to work in all Black cast films, known as race movies
-- to the major strides of accomplishments made by Spike Lee, Halle Berry,
and others today -- who can raise and command millions of dollars for their
film ventures -- you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about
African American films from beginning to present. And NO DOUBT, you'll be surprised and enlightened!
Please visit our tribute to African American Cinema in New York City, USA, --
showcased in the heartbeat of Harlem on 125th Street -- to celebrate the
rich legacy, to screen rare Black movies and old Black films from back in
the day, or tour our special nostalgic exhibits of rare Black movie memorabilia
you didn't know existed.

somethin' going on!"
