{"product_id":"luther-j-pollard-kevin-scott-collier-9781976218736","title":"Luther J. Pollard: Ebony Film Corp.","description":"Luther J. Pollard: Ebony Film Corp. tells the tale of the first motion picture company presenting an entirely black cast of actors in their films. Ebony, which produced a string of comedy shorts from 1917 to 1918, was both praised and condemned. This book takes a look at young Chicago entrepreneur Luther Jay Pollard, company's African-American president and general manager, and how he founded Ebony Film Corp., a company hijacked by racist, white investors bent on exploitation. Ebony's humiliating comedies caused a national outcry from both black and white audiences. Included is a complete film directory, historic articles, photos and advertisements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Scott Collier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 197621873X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781976218736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Kevin Scott Collier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800734576895,"sku":"9781976218736","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luther-j-pollard-kevin-scott-collier-9781976218736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
