ABOUT THE AL HIRSCHFELD POSTAGE STAMP
On July 16, 2008 the United States Postal Service issued five stamps to honor “Vintage Black Cinema.” Included in these commemorate stamps is Hirschfeld’s 1929 poster for the movie Hallelujah—one of the first major-studio films (MGM) to feature an all-black cast.
This dramatic story of a field laborer who is seduced away from his community by worldly temptations was filmed primarily in Arkansas and Tennessee. Noted for its portrayal of the rural African-American religious experience, Hallelujah earned King Vidor a nomination for Best Director.
