<B>The films, the stars, the filmmakers-all get their due in <I>Hollywood Black</I>, a sweeping overview of blacks in film from the silent era through <I>Black Panther</I>, with striking photos and an engrossing history by award-winning author Donald Bogle.</B><br><br><B></B><br>The story opens in the silent film era, when white actors in blackface often played black characters, but also saw the rise of independent African American filmmakers, including the remarkable Oscar Micheaux. It follows the changes in the film industry with the arrival of sound motion pictures and the Great Depression, when black performers such as Stepin Fetchit and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson began finding a place in Hollywood. More often than not, they were saddled with rigidly stereotyped roles, but some gifted performers, most notably Hattie McDaniel in <I>Gone With the Wind</I> (1939), were able to turn in significant performances.<br><br>In the coming decades, more black talents would light up the screen.
