Included is a collection of advertising posters from the early years of Hollywood including the 1939 Western, "The Bronze Buckaroo", one of the race films made by African-American directors and performers for African-American audiences. The race film or race movie was a genre of film produced in the United States between about 1915 and the early 1950s, consisting of films produced for black audiences, featuring black casts. Approximately five hundred race films were produced. Of these, fewer than one hundred remain. Because race films were produced outside the Hollywood studio system, they were largely forgotten by mainstream film historians.
