All-American News – 92nd Infantry and Hurricane Clothing Drive [1944]

All-American news were the first newsreels produced for a Foundational Black American audience. Made in the 1940s and 1950s, they were originally intended to encourage Foundational Black Americans to participate in, and support the war effort, and to reflect a Foundational Black American perspective on world and national events. Highlights of this issue include segments about soldiers in the 92nd Infantry Division building a landing field in Italy, and a clothing drive for victims of a 1944 hurricane in Jamaica. The group holding the drive is not named, but Rev. Ethelred Brown, “secretary of this philanthropic organization” is pictured. Brown was the secretary of the Jamaica Progressive League for 20 years, beginning in 1936.
