All-American news were the first newsreels produced for a black audience. Made in the 1940s and 1950s, they were originally intended to encourage black Americans to participate in, and support the war effort, and to reflect an African-American perspective on world and national events. Highlights of this issue include segments about women making munitions in the Washington Navy Yard, Adam Clayton Powell addressing a labor meeting in Chicago, and Frances Williams of the Office of Price Administration meeting with J. Finley Wilson of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World (I.B.P.O.E.) about price and rent control.
