EXCELLENT‼️ I’m SO glad this silent movie and its production footage was saved. I LOVE IT 👩🏻‍🏫👵🏻👏🏻🥰‼️

Wonderful! Thank you for your continued commitment to researching, restoring and airing important films across all cultural and ethnic backgrounds. It’s extremely important to have film and commentary presented that depict the creative contributions of Black artists while presenting the back stories of suppression and racism. Truth will out…, and I hope it will lead to greater recognition, respect and unity. Well done and deeply appreciated! 👏👏👏

Amazing that this gents legacy is being restored and remembered for all the right reasons. Has a fan of silent film I have always wondered about the African American and the other black actors who starred in them and want to learn more about them outside of their white counter parts.

Charlie Chaplin called Bert Williams the best actor in the world.

I believe inW.C. Fields said Williams was the funniest comedian he ever saw... and the saddest man he ever knew.
