Palmour Street (1949) | A Black Family in Gainesville, GA

Early film from prolific documentarian George Stoney and Bill Clifford. Produced by Southern Educational Film Production Service. From The Prelinger Archive. As described in an early catalog: "African American life in Georgia in the 1950s. The purpose of this film is to help parents understand the best ways to raise their children, especially in the face of obstacles. We feel it is worth showing to students because it shows an African American family in rural Georgia in the 1950s as a normal functioning family, important images for all to see as the Civil Rights Movement takes over much of the discussion about Black History beginning in this decade." ##### Reelblack's mission is to educate, elevate, entertain, enlighten, and empower through Black film.
