This collection assembles portraits film stills and candid images of major African American performers whose careers spanned stage screen music and comedy during the mid-20th century-a period when Black entertainers broke barriers in Hollywood television and popular music often while confronting systemic racism in the entertainment industry.<br /> <br /> Identified in this group are: Isaac Hayes captured in a close-cropped press portrait with typed caption lauding his career as "composer singer actor black Moses of soul" at the height of his 1970s popularity; Harry Belafonte in a film still depicting him in a tense scene in 1959's film Odds Against Tomorrow; Sidney Poitier pictured in a still embracing Barbara Mcnair in the 1970 movie They Call Me Mister Tibbs; Dick Gregory the pioneering Black comedian and outspoken civil rights activist in a studio portraits; Moses Gunn known for his commanding stage presence and roles in films such as Shaft 1971; and John Marriott a veteran character actor of stage and screen seen in formal portrait.<br /> <br /> Also included are images of additional African American performers: a stylish mid-century nightclub or stage portrait of an unidentified singer in tuxedo; a sharply dressed man standing before a theater facade adorned with posters of entertainers including Kit Kara and Rio; and a candid street scene outside the famed Savoy Ballroom in Harlem showing two men shaking hands beneath the marquee at "600 Savoy 598." Smaller prints depict a saxophonist in performance and a lobby card for comedian Hot Ashes. Together these photographs trace a lineage of African American artistry across genres-popular music jazz theater film and stand-up-during an era when representation in mainstream media was both a political act and a cultural breakthrough.
