Hollywood's Double Take: The First Three Black Directors
In the late 1960s in a belated attempt to bring an African-American point of view to Hollywood filmmaking, the major studios hired three accomplished directors to helm Black-themed movies. While an independent Black Cinema had flourished right under Hollywood’s nose earlier in the century, and non-black filmmakers had directed African-American subjects such as Cabin In the Sky, Carmen Jones and Hallelujah!, this was the first time black filmmakers and African-American audiences could connect on a mass scale. The result was the birth of Soul Cinema.
