THE COLOR OF A MAN

Description: Report on the American Missionary Association’s work in the South. The Color of a Man was produced to mark the association’s 100th anniversary and to help overcome racial prejudice. It contrasts the situation in the South with that in the District of Columbia, where the African American community is served by its own schools, hospitals and churches. Improving the standards of living for African Americans, the film argues, requires addressing racial prejudices and bettering the education system. International Film Foundation.
