As the son of former slaves, Oscar Micheaux would have never dreamed that making movies would be his calling. Oscar had energy, drive and vision--but it was his out-of-the-box thinking that became the key to his success. Micheaux's life is an American triumph: from working as a railroad porter to becoming a homesteader, author and movie director.Look for "Behind the Scenes: A Young Person's Guide to Film History, Vol. 1" with Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, the Lumiere brothers, Judy Garland and more |
