História

Noble Johnson 18 de abril de 1881 - 9 de janeiro de 1978 foi um ator estadunidense que iniciou sua carreira na era do cinema mudo, alcançando a era sonora, atuando em 145 filmes entre 1915 e 1950. Afro-americano, destacou-se por incentivar o cinema negro numa época de grande preconceito racial nos Estados Unidos, fundando uma companhia cinematográfica, a Lincoln Motion Picture Company, dirigida especificamente para as plateias negras e que seria reconhecida como a primeira companhia a apresentar personagens negros comuns nos chamados “race film”, em vez de personagens caricatos, como era costume até então.
