Scope and Content Note
This series contains pressbooks relating to African Americans in cinema or African Americans in general from 1921-2001. A pressbook is a piece of promotional material created and distributed by film producers in order to market their films. Prior to 1980, most film companies did their own promotion, and the pressbooks would be given to exhibitors.
Pressbooks generally contain information on the stars of the film, notes that could be planted in newspaper features and other promotional materials including ready-made film reviews and souvenir-style giveaways.
