The AmericaJR Web Team recently visited the Academy Museum on Motion Pictures on L.A.’s Miracle Mile. In this gallery, look for photos from the exhibit “Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971.” From AcademyMuseum.org: The exhibit explores the rich history of Black participation in US cinema from its beginnings to just beyond the civil rights movement. Inspired by and named after an independent all-Black-cast movie from 1923, Regeneration seeks to revive lost or forgotten films, filmmakers, and performers for a contemporary audience. Moviemaking has always been instrumental in shaping culture, and Black artists and entrepreneurs have been involved from the start despite racism and prejudices that limited their opportunities.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is located at 6067 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. For tickets and more info, go to: https://www.academymuseum.org/
