Midnight ramble
A midnight ramble was a segregation-era midnight showing of films for an African American audience, often in a cinema where, under Jim Crow laws they would never have been admitted at other times.[1][2] The films shown were often from among the over 500 films that were made between 1910 and 1950 in the United States with Black producers, writers, actors and directors.[3]
