The Solomon Sir Jones collection of silent film showing the lives of early African American towns in Oklahoma is important because they provide counter-narratives to some of the negative histories, lies, and depictions of African Americans in the US often taught and believed by many people. I plan to show these film clips to my students. I first saw one of the films posted on a friend of mines Facebook page.
Please share this link with family, friends, and educators.
