In celebration of Black History Month, we turn to the story of Oscar Micheaux: a pioneering, African American filmmaker and entrepreneur.
"I Want You Back" is the latest milestone in the career of Charlie Day, who has parlayed "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" fame into a lead role. Sandy Kenyon has the story.
I have long been fascinated with Micheaux in part because he was so far ahead of his time, and I used a recent visit to Los Angeles to learn more about him. Along LA's Miracle Mile, the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures stands as a monument to the movies. It was built by the organization best known for giving out the Oscars each year; and there among those trophies is an exhibit devoted to Micheaux.She was studying literature at Stanford University when she was introduced to Micheaux's legacy.
"He's someone who's making films at a time when there were so many barriers to people of color, and somehow incredibly he was able to produce an incredible body of work," she said."He recognized that Black audiences really wanted to see their stories told as well, and he felt a tremendous commitment to telling those stories.""He's talking about issues of racial injustice that we are still dealing with today," she said.
