***WARNING***
'Dancing the Big Apple 1937: African-Americans Inspire a National Craze' is an apparently white-produced documentary about facets of Black American, Afro-centric culture, primarily focused on the Black/Afrocentric origins of 'The Big Apple' dance. This documentary also includes multiple references to Frankie Manning and Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.
The documentary's narration and delivery apparently embraces a problematic white euro-American centered sentimental perspective throughout some of its storytelling (example, the apparent romanticized fondness for 'blackface'). However, this channel still finds that much of this documentary's content & information possesses historical and cultural value. As such, this channel cautiously and respectfully elects to exhibit this documentary, while allowing individual viewers to decide for themselves whether or not this documentary serves as a worthy resource.
This documentary is released through 'Dancetime Publications', is readily available for purchase on their website, as well as on Amazon and Ebay.
