African American Posters

Imaging Blackness

These striking, colorful posters, selected from the more than one thousand housed at Indiana University's Black Film Center/Archive, graphically illustrate the artistic and thematic range of racial representation in the American film industry from its early days through the present. Chosen for their value as cultural artifacts, they combine art and commerce and are richly imbued with historical and social meanings that continue to engage and inform. The earliest posters, such as the one from pioneering black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, represent truly independent productions. That crop of "race movies," dating from the late 1920s through the early 1940s, targeted a black audience hungry for respectful images of themselves. In Hollywood films, however, black life was often presented in contorted and narrowly defined ways, reflective of America's racial morass. Yet as a whole, the posters managed to capture the artistry, if not the full range, of black performance.

Reader's Reviews:
Repeat After Me


Kathy Adis words convey the energy of healing and truth. As we read her crystal clear words, their essence touches us and we are forever changed.
~Barbara Holdgate, Certified Massage Therapist, Energy Worker

I followed Kathy as she strode gracefully and energetically around Colorado lakes and valleys in the fall of 2005. How could this be the same person whose journey began with the horrible collision described in Repeat After Me? Kathy discovered meaning and purpose in her ordeal, and as an act of generosity, she shares her journey with us. Beyond the healing of her body, Kathy's ability to trust herself and the benevolence of life, freed her. Her story redirects our energy toward our own growth and higher purpose.
~Marlin D. Hoover, M.Div., Ph.D.
