1969 Gordon Parks African American drama. The Learning Tree was released to theaters in August 1969 and was well-received by both critics and the public. Written and directed by the trailblazing and multi-talented journalist, photographer, and writer, Gordon Parks, it was based on Parks' 1963 semi-autobiographical novel of the same name and was the first major Hollywood studio film to be directed by an African-American. Parks would later go on to direct four more feature films in the 1970s: the landmark Shaft, its sequel Shaft’s Big Score, The Super Cops, and Leadbelly. As a testament to the movie’s importance, it was one of the 25 movies selected to join the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry in its debut year of 1989.
