Scope and Contents

The Richard E. Norman film production collection contains film promotional flyers and brochures produced by Richard E. Norman through Norman Studios from 1919- 1940. Norman became a widely recognized film maker who produced "race" films. These were films that touted all African American casts and targeted an African American audience. The brochures include, "The Green Eyed Monster" (1919), "Regeneration" (1923), and "Black Gold" (1928). There is also a promotional flyer that promotes four separate movies, "The Green Eyed Monster" (1919), "The Love Bug" (1920), "Crimson Skull" (1921), and "The Bull Dogger" (1921) among others. Another movie flyer in this collection is one that promoted the August 7, 1935 boxing match between Joe Louis and King Levinsky that took place in Chicago, Illinois.
