The first Black kid in Talkies, the first Black kid to headline his own US tour, and then.... nothing.

What if I told you that the highest paid Black actor of the 1920s was 8 years old at the time? Well let me introduce you to the subject of our first episode– The Prince of Moving Pictures– Sunshine Sammy Morrison. This new season of The Blacklist focuses on the original young Black Hollywood.

Our season finale. Thank you so much for listening.

One last trip through the silent era.
