There is a series available on video from Phoenix Films
(800.221.1274) entitled "The Tyler Texas Black Film
Collection."  This is a collection of 14 films found in a
warehouse in Tyler Texas, made by black filmmakers from 1939 to
1956.  Directed by (among others) Oscar Micheaux and William
Alexander.  These run the gammit from comedy to drama.  Very
nice collection.
