All-American News [1945-04, no. 3].1"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 awards given to the New York City Patrol Corps, who aided the depleted New York City police force during the war; singer Todd Duncan's upcoming tour of South America; and the 92nd Infantry Division advancing through Italy."
