Add to SetSummary
In the early 20th century, some independent film studios produced motion pictures for the African American market.

Norman Studios, a white-owned company in Jacksonville, Florida, made several such films during the 1920s. This lobby card advertises its 1926 production of the film The Flying Ace.
