Yeah, I don't know why the history of the race movie industry isn't more familiar to the general public. It's such an interesting story!

Did you find many movies on Jesse Owens? Now, there was a racer. At one time, he was the fastest runner alive.

Yes! There was actually a pretty funny clip with him in "That's Black Entertainment". He had just won a race in the 1936 Olympics and there was a shot of Hitler looking on in rage as this amazing African American man had the crowd roaring in admiration. He didn't seem to like to see his theory of a master race being so thoroughly disproved!
