  3. 'James Edwards: African American Hollywood Icon' by Pamala S. Deane

    For much of the 1950s and '60s, Sidney Poitier was the standard-bearer for all of black Hollywood, his stardom held aloft as a beacon of integration and progress. In reality, the movie industry remained largely segregated and out of step with the developments of the civil rights era; the Poitier mythology not only obscured this truth, but it also dwarfed the contributions of other African American actors, some of whom paved the way for Poitier's ascent.

They walk briskly past the Liberty Bell on their way to a food-cart lunch, skateboard recklessly down the 100 steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum and, if you ask for Ben Franklin's house, direct you by way of their more familiar gaudy red-white-and-blue landmark store, the Shirt Corner Plus.
