Thank you for inviting me to #NoirAlley TONIGHT 11p CT to discuss too this long obscured 1951 adaptation of #RichardWright’s landmark novel #NativeSon.

Getting Richard Wright's Native Son to the screen was a long and difficult journey. Wright, not a trained actor, ended up playing the lead role in the film.
@ProfJStewart explains why the film couldn't be made in the U.S. See the TCM premiere this weekend on #NoirAlley.
