Yeah…she totally was a black actress who though seen on the screen, remains unseen in our memories. I had never seen or heard of her in my life. It’s incredible that she had done more movies than Horne or Dandridge and yet go that unhealded ! Well,Nina Mae McKinney, God willing,we won’t forget you again !

New Jersey was barely north of the Mason/Dixon line, but due to the work of the Quakers and the growing empathy of evangelical Christians, West Jersey, and Burlington County in particular, was a welcome home to a black population as early as 1810. By the census of 1860, five percent of the Burlington County population were free blacks. Two towns, Lawnside and Timbuctoo, were populated almost entirely by non-slave blacks, and were an integral part of the Underground Railroad movement.

Speaking of Nina Mae McKinney, she starred in Oscar Micheaux’s 1925 film Body and Soul (also starring Paul Robeson). Oscar Micheaux was the first African to write, produce and direct both a feature length silent film (The Homesteader, 1919), and a film with sound (The Exile, 1931).
