About

Incorporated on February 11th, 2019, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and preservation-based organization, the Department of Afro-American Research, Arts, and Culture (DAARAC) focuses on the historical and present aestheticism of Black Cinema. We aim to enlighten those seeking information about the cultural aspects of Black arts and culture around the world. Our website covers the Race Film Era (Black independent films of the 1920s to the mid-1950s), the Civil Rights Era, the Blaxploitation Era, the New Jack/Hip-Hop Era, and Modern Black Cinema. Throughout the site, you will find extensive information on Black Cinema over the last century. There are many sub-genres and categories listed that will make the experience here very fruitful for all those who enjoy Black Cinema.
