Summary:	A collection of rare African-American films from the 1930s, 40s and 50s which were nearly destroyed, have been rescued by William Jones, founder of Southern Methodist University's film collection. Called to a warehouse in the early 1980s to dig through a pile of old film canisters which the managers of the warehouse were preparing to throw out, Jones found a treasure trove of feature films and newsreels made by black directors, starring black actors, and unseen for many years.
