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 Walter F. Walter, named Secretary of Public Works for Liberia, Dr. Charles W. Buggs, associate professor of bacteriology at Wayne University in Detroit, Michigan, Mrs. Tarea Hall Pittman, commentator for the program "Negroes in the News" on station KLS in Oakland, California, and continuing the home front war effort until victory in the Pacific, featuring speakers such as Frances Williams, of the Office of Price Administration, and the Rev. Dr. Marshall Shephard. https://www.loc.gov/item/2018600208/
