What happened to Emil Landry, Oscar Micheaux?
We know he got away from the mob, what happened to Emil?!!
Was he Dr. Vivian? Did he ultimately marry the most perfect girl in the world and just left out the part where he’s her adopted brother?!!
I NEED TO KNOW. #WithinOurGates #OscarMicheaux

While Hollywood pushed racist stereotypes, Black filmmakers like Oscar Micheaux fought back. His films told real Black stories — not caricatures. #BannedHistory #BlackCinema #OscarMicheaux #ResistanceThroughArt
