Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame

This article needs a revision: Well, some things are wrong here. The entry from 2006 apparently only exists with us, especially since it happened in the 70s. Then there are entries for 1992 on one of the target websites (see also en: WP-Links). A complete review (I would do it, but unfortunately I don't have the capacity) would be sensible and appropriate. Marcus Cyron Love me, love me, say that you love me! 3:19 pm, Feb. 25, 2019 (CET)

The Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, Inc. (BFHFI) was founded in 1973 in Oakland .

It supports and promotes black film projects and preserves the contributions of African American artists, regardless of whether they work in front of or behind the camera. The non-profit organization also supports screenings of films by and about people of African descent and presents the Oscar Micheaux Award every February at the Paramount Theater in Oakland.
