Greetings to all Members of BSFS,
In celebration and supreme honor of Black History Month 2013, KMT Publications is making available a FREE copy of "The Life and Work of Oscar Micheaux: Pioneer Black Author and Filmmaker" (5 Days: from Friday, 2-15 to Tuesday 2-19). This is a non-fiction book that explores the life of one of America's greatest filmmakers, and a Black man who did things in the 1920s to 1940s that challenged the stereotypes of his day and endeavored to present a positive more dynamic image of Black people in the world. VISIT http://www.oscarmicheaux.com for more detail information on this great pioneer. The following is a brief synopsis of Oscar Micheaux:
"Over a three-decade period that began in 1919, Oscar Micheaux wrote, directed, edited, produced and distributed over forty films nationally and internationally. These films usually featured all-Black casts. They spanned a silent film period (1919-1930)and a talkie period (sound films) (1931-1948). Given such a background and the period in American history into which he was born, Micheaux's achievements were extraordinary and his legacy is a study of survival, persistence, and bold determination to develop a new era in Black films. The book features a commentary by actor/producer Ossie Davis and has review copy (on the back cover) by Dr. Maya Angelou and Dr. Henry T. Sampson. This book was edited by the late Dr. Beverly J. Robinson, who was Professor at the School of Theater, Film and Television at UCLA for nearly 25 years."
