  • Times were tough for African Americans in the South. Many were sharecroppers living a hard scrabble life in shacks and working endless hours in the fields.
    The Harmon Foundation was established in 1922 by William E. Harmon. It served as a large-scale patron of African-American art and helped gain recognition for African-American artists who otherwise would have remained largely unknown. Mary B. Brady was the director of the foundation from 1922 until its cessation in 1967.
    The William E. Harmon Foundation award for distinguished achievement among Negroes was created in 1926.[1] It was known as an award for excellence in the visual arts, but was offered for distinguished achievement in many different fields among Negroes or in the cause of race relations. This helped art education programs grow in many areas. Among the many recipients of the awards were Hale Woodruff, Palmer Hayden, Archibald Motley (his winning piece was The Octoroon Girl), Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes.

    Amazing how informative a video can be - even without sound. I keep coming back to watch again and again. More young people need to see this to feel motivated, inspired and encouraged. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

    I’m 24 and All I can speak of is the city I’m from. Baltimore, MD. I think a lot of problems people my age (And a little older too) face is that we’re disconnected from the struggles our ancestors endured. With iPhones and Gucci and vacations and Mercedes we feel like we’re “winning”. Killing each other over pennies. Treating our women like sex objects. The lack of love is due to the lack of connection. How can I love my people if I do not love myself? How can I love myself if I do not know myself?
    We should be ashamed of how privileged yet ungrateful we are.

    I saw another video on an old African-American couple interviewed in the late 1980s about American life back in the 1920s/30s.
    At first, I was surprised to hear them talk about apprenticeships from the get go! How young people (White and Black) were encouraged to do apprenticeships at a job placement before or after graduating high school!
    Aside from that, they spoke about how American life has changed so much in 50 years time. Which I couldn’t agree less with!

    Even though us African Americans were under segregated laws in the United States this video shows us so industrial and creative and in unity. And willing to help each other. We had respect and love for oursleves and we believe in the God of Israel. African Americans men and women were more focus on God family and standing up for our civil rights and had high morals values and respected our elders. When African-Americans were allowed into integration it broke black families down by accepting welfare, no father allowed in the home, building ghetto projects, putting drugs and prostitution into our black communities across america. African-American had there owned businesses and had healthy businesses relationship with other African American owned and operated business. I wish it could be like this now for us African Americans who feel the same way I do.

      Some of the films in the collection at the National Archives were either silent films or their sound tracks were lost during the fire in the archives storage facility. Many film negatives were lost too. So in some cases all that is left is either the film negative or prints or the sound tracks. In this case only the negative survived. And some of the films are the raw footage of what was shot. So we're able to see the unedited record of how people lived, worked, played, etc.
