dbo:abstract
  • Birthright is a 1939 American film directed, co-produced and co-written by Oscar Micheaux. Carman Newsome stars in the 1939 film as a black Harvard graduate facing racism and discrimination after he returns to his small hometown in Tennessee, where he hoped to develop a school similar to Tuskegee Institute or Hampton Institute, both historically black colleges. This is a talkie remake of Micheaux's 1924 silent film Birthright; both were adapted from white author Thomas S. Stribling's 1922 novel of the same title. Starring J. Homer Tutt, Micheaux's 1924 film was criticized for its graphic depiction of racism. The film is now considered lost. (en)
