  • Paulin Soumanou Vieyra (1925 - 1987)
    PAULIN SOUMANOU VIEYRA (1925 - 1987) © PSV-Films www.psv-films.fr Paulin Soumanou Vieyra, the eldest of eight children, was born in Porto Novo, Benin (former Dahomey) on January 30, 1925. His great-grandfather, a Muslim Yorouba, was a member of a Bida royal family in Nigeria and was sent to Brazil as a slave. Following the 1835 Muslim slave rebellion in Bahia and emancipation in Brazil, Vieyra’s great-grandfather settled in the former Portuguese slave port of Porto Novo (New Port), which was said to be a tributary of the Yoruba kingdom of Oyo. He brought with him a mulatto wife, the daughter of his former Jewish Portuguese master and a black slave, as well as the Portuguese last name Vieyra. Paulin S. Vieyra’s father was a Yoruba railroad administrator. His mother, originally from Sierra Leone, was a merchant. In 1935, they sent Paulin, then 10 years old, to France to attend boarding school. In 1954, he graduated from IDHEC School with a thesis on cinema in French-speaking Africa. In 1955, Vieyra made history by directing the first substantial film by a French-speaking sub-Saharan African, Afrique sur Seine, 21-minute, 16mm black-and-white fiction film with Marpessa Dawn, star of Black Orpheus (1959). It was pro- duced by the French Ministry of Cooperation, co-directed by aspiring filmmakers Jacques Melo Kane and Ma- madou Sarr and shot by Robert Caristan. This quartet became known as « Le Groupe Africain de Cinema » (The African Cinema Group). Vieyra also served as a mentor and production director for Senegalese film- makers including Sembene and Ababacar Samb Makaram and was a founding member of film institutions including The Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers (FEPACI) and the Pan-African Film Festival (FESPACO).

  • Ollie Stewart: an African American Looking at American Politics, Society and Culture
    Ollie Stewart: An African American Looking at American Politics, Society and Culture by Jinx Coleman Broussard [email protected] Associate Professor, Manship School of Mass Communication Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge & Newly Paul [email protected]. Doctoral Student, Manship School of Mass Communication Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge Abstract This article examines and interprets the writings of Ollie Stewart, the Paris-based foreign correspondent for the Afro-American newspaper from 1949 to 1977. The articles and lively columns this expat journalist wrote during the post-World War II period when the black press was in decline, provided his and foreigners’ views about some of the seminal events that were shaping America and directly impacting Blacks throughout the world. Though at one point he was the only Black correspondent reporting continually reporting from abroad, he has largely been invisible in media history. This article aims to fill this gap. Using framing theory approach and textual analysis, this article examines how Stewart addressed race, U.S. foreign policy, politics and the achievements and activities of Blacks abroad. Stewart’s writing provided information and viewpoints that were largely excluded from mainstream media and filled an important void in the press and American history. 228 The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.6, no.8, March 2014 Ollie Anderson Stewart was one of at least twenty-seven African-American correspondents who covered Black troops during World War II from all theatres. Like the other Black war correspondents, Stewart wrote about the valor and success of the fighter pilots now known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
