@queenie4rmnola I used to watch Micheaux films in the Library of Congress' backroom.
Now, the most important (IMO) is available for free on their youtube channel, #WithinOurGates, which is "the answer" to Birth of a Nation.
Everyone should watch IMO...

#BlackHistoryMonth 2023 The Library of Congress posted the earliest known surviving film made by & starring an all-black cast on youtube, in 2017.
That's Oscar Micheaux's #WithinOurGates (1919), considered a critical response to Birth of a Nation:

The way she was helping her parents & educating them to no longer be stolen from is one of the many reasons slaves weren't allowed to read or write. Her Parents were so proud that all their hard work resulted in fulfilled dreams #WithInOurGates #SilentSundayNights #TCMParty

Conrad so easily swayed and never once gave her a chance to explain. She's better off #WithinOurGates #SilentSundayNights #TCMParty
a way of come back & haunting you. Please watch #WithinOurGates & understand the only way to true democracy is by facing racism. Until we confront, listen to those it impacts & make systemic changes. The past is our future on repeat #TCMParty #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #silentfilm
So super long work day, got home late & had to skip a special showing of #WithinOurGates @GatewayFC So I was tired but came home to a surprise box from @SeverinFilms Inside is an @alexdelalglesia Film #MutantAction I totally forgot about ordering a bit ago #GoodIcingOnTheDay
#BirthOfANation - the danger of technical expertise combined with a narrative of racial stereotypes & lies.
#WithinOurGates is an important reminder of the need to have images & art to counteract those false narratives & tell our own stories. @tcm #TCM #TCMParty @ProfJStewart
