Watch Now – “The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords” (History Of The Black Journalism)
Just got an email from California Newsreel, alerting us that the documentary, The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, is available for free online previewing through the end of this month, so you’re encouraged to head over there and give it a look.
In short, the 1998 86-minute feature film “is the first film to chronicle the history of the Black press, including its central role in the construction of modern African American identity. It recounts the largely forgotten stories of generations of Black journalists who risked life and livelihood so African Americans could represent themselves in their own words and images.”
Stanley Nelson produced it, and Joe Morton narrates.
Click HERE to go to the California Newsreel page where you can watch the film in its entirety! But hurry, because, as I said, it’s available only through the end of October!
