Junction 88 (1947) | All-Black Cast w/ Dewey Pigmeat Markham

In Junction 88, a small all-black community, pretty Lolly Simpkins loves gentle songwriter Buster Jenkins, who makes too little money to marry. Her father favors rival suitor Onnie, crude but with a better income. Buster’s best chance comes when impresario Bob Howard, to whom he’s sent songs, comes to town looking for him. But Bob is looking for a pseudonym, ‘Hewlett Green’, that nobody’s ever heard of. Will Buster reveal himself? Meanwhile, a very jazzy church concert. - letterboxd

It’s crazy how we still found a way going thru what we went thru and are going thru making all black movies in the 30s crazy

Things were bad, but there were still always opportunities. There were black scientists, businessmen, lawyers, teachers, artists tradesmen and politicians.
