In the early days of Hollywood they would make movies with the cast all being “ people of color”. These were made for theaters in the south that were for “colored people” only.
“Green Pastures” was certainly an exception; an exceptionally good picture made in 1936 that opened in New York.

Cabin in the sky is also a very good movie that just happens to have a all black cast.
