Additional sources[edit]

This document appears to include James P. Johnson discussing how the film came to be made. Seems to be a bit boroken up? User:78.26 this song and film might interest you. I saw the film described as being inspired by German abstract expressionist films. It seems to be extant. Is there a way to link to the song somewhere?

That's from the back jacket of Folkways LP The Original 1945-1945 Piano Solos. I don't know if it would be considered an independent source, the LP jacket this text is from is from before the Smithsonian acquired the label. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 15:53, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yamacraw[edit]

Yamacraw apparently was (is?) a real community. According to a video on Youtube of an interview of Jamal Toure it was home to Robert Sengstacke Abbott who he says founded the Chicago Defender. He described a public housing development being built in May 1941 given the name Yamacraw and compares it to the slave quarters while the "big house" plantation style home is modeled elsewhere (photos are included) in the area. I apologize I am not good with Youtube libks but searching Yamacra there should turn it up. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:20, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"The Yamacraw were a native American tribe that lived in the area of what became Savannah, Georgia. Yamacraw was a neighborhood in Savannah. It was home to Robert Sengstacke Abbott's family. He went on to found the Chicago Defender newspaper." fromnthe Georgia Encyxlooedia source
