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 Horace Cayton's book, Black Metropolis, the Junior Police and Citizens Corps boys club in Washington D.C., Dr. T.K. Lawless, dermatologist at Provident Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, Union worker, Maida Springer's trip to Great Britain, and the 81st West African Division fighting in Burma. https://www.loc.gov/item/2018600171/
