Actress and radio performer Hattie McDaniel became the first African American to win an Oscar in 1940, for her supporting role as Mammy in 'Gone With the Wind.'
Who Was Hattie McDaniel?
By the mid-1920s, Hattie McDaniel became one of the first African American women to perform on radio. In 1934, she landed her on-screen break in the film Judge Priest. She then became the first African American to win an Oscar in 1940, for her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind. In 1947, after her career took a downturn, she began starring on CBS radio's The Beulah Show.
Early Years
McDaniel was born on June 10, 1893, in Wichita, Kansas, with some sources listing her year of birth as 1895. She was her parents' 13th child. Her father, Henry, was a Civil War veteran who suffered greatly from war injuries and had a difficult time with manual labor. (Henry was later described by one of his sons as a minister, though this was a fictionalized account.) Her mother, Susan Holbert, was a domestic worker.
In 1901, McDaniel and her family moved to Denver, Colorado. There she attended the 24th Street Elementary School, where she was one of only two Black students in her class. Her natural flair for singing—in church, at school and in her home—was apparent early on and gained her popularity among her classmates.
Hattie McDaniel was the first Black performer to win an Academy Award, earning the best supporting actress prize for her role as Mammy in the epic Gone With the Wind (1939).All of Gone With the Wind's Black actors, including Hattie McDaniel, were barred from attending the film's premiere in 1939.

OK...and the story of hattie, the mammy and aunt jemima star is what?
hattie LIVED as a
1. negro? 2. black? 3. african american Citizen? 4. hattie honored female gifts with her life? 5. gone with the wind, was a great gift to AfricanAmerican Citizens and Women..
..does deaCON understand in America; citizens debate in Democracies with many views..?
AGAIN...for the 2,411,111th time why does deaCON not write AfricanAmerican Citizen...??
You never did answer the question of "Mr. Robert Powell, where is this material of Hattie McDaniel where this question address: 1. deaCON I believe the COLORED'whites' and COLORED'whiteSupremists' are CONFUSED even in
2022 about what are the African American?"

This is a FACT, Mr. Robert Powell, wherein this article that picks up the subject of deaCON disassociates self-identity; I really want you to find me in this article but yet you have failed to reach the topic and the meaning of the Biography of Hattie McDaniels. HOW LOW WILL YOU GO, Robert?
Your as- could NOT find this so-called disassociates self-identity, WHY? Because that story is something Mr. Robert Powell pulled directly, right out of your HAT. Mind you, I had a better and more powerful description on where you pulled that LIE from but I will pass but you got the idea.
You see the Biography of Hattie McDaniel, why do you dishonor her legacy with this childish name-calling and the disrespect with LIE'S about Hattie McDaniel June 10, 1893 - October 26, 1952 with these baseless LIES?
Why do you do this Mr. Robert Powell? You don't have to use LIES on Hattie McDaniel Biography, who does THAT!!!!

Hattie McDaniel...was the first Black performer to win an Academy Award, earning the best supporting actress prize for her role as Mammy in the epic Gone With the Wind (1939).
All of Gone With the Wind's Black actors, including Hattie McDaniel, were barred from attending the film's premiere in 1939....Hat Hattie
(in Los Angeles at the Oscars, she sat at a segregated table at the side of the room...Her wish to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery was denied..graveyard being restricted whites only)

1. I, Robert Powell, an AMERICAN CITIZEN agree with the majority of Americans that mammy portrayals of Hattie McDaniel, and gone with the wind movie are lowlife RACIST American History..
..AND absolutely Hattie McDaniel dishonored ALL Americans with her racistCartoonism..
2. deaCON; I believe the COLORED'whites' and COLORED'whiteSupremists' are CONFUSED in 2022 about; What ARE the African American?
3. deaCON, because the African American LIKE, deaCON disassociates selfIdentity; I believe this denial of History and REAL FACTS...mires all Americans in racistIgnorance
4. deaCON; the issues of 2022 and the VOTING of 2020 show Americans to be incapable of recognizing ALL Citizens as Citizens...
5. Is there a reason why deaCON cannot write African American?
I believe African American signifies CITIZENSHIP
I believe 'black-negro' signifies non CITIZENSHIP
..colors cannot think or reason..Citizens can think and reason...

As an American Citizen I have the right to debate..That is a Constitutional Free Speech Canon of America....
..BIA, this African American Family site states in PREAMBLE..."
BIA is an online community for African American men, women, and families, and want to shatter negative stereotypes and misconceptions.
This platform stimulates positive ideas, dialogue and solutions. This site is not affiliated with CNN, but does compliment their "Black In America" special reports.
..I, Robert Powell believe that the negroMammy protrayals of Mrs. McDaniel AND gone with the wind are negative RACISTLY IGNORANT Misconceptions of African American Citizens...
..deaCON, we African Americans know that the russians; since The Presidency of Baraaka Hussein Obama have sought to LIE and Deceive on African American Social Media...
ALLOW the African American Citizen Families; at BIA to concentrate on the ELECTIONS of 2022---->2026...AS THEY are Important to Democracy and Our USA Constitution
James Brown started it by saying...."I'm black and I'm PROUD"
..1930-1950 Hattie was NOT 'black" or "proud"
to the 'gone with the wind' OPENING in COLORED'whiteRacistly-Ignorant' Atlanta theatre, Hattie was a mammy, negro n IGGA..
to the 'gone with the wind' COLORED'whiteSupremist' cast she was a mammy, negro n IGGA..
to the Academy Awards; that put her in the back by the kitchen, Hattie was a negro n IGGA..
to the Hollywood Cemetery she was mammy, negro n IGGA
to the Americans, LIKE myself of 2022..Hattie was a mammy star and stereotypical representation of African American Citizenry and Constitutional Values...
Hattie McDaniel was an Actress and radio performer who became the first African American to win an Oscar in 1940, for her supporting role as Mammy in 'Gone With the Wind,' way before James Brown came around. to town.
By the mid-1920s, Hattie McDaniel became one of the first African American women to perform on radio.
What are you famous for in American History Mr. Robert Powell, other than LYING right here on Black In America?
..hattie was, in her life, of negritude, a mammy negro ABHORED by 'gone with the wind' cast, directors, Oscar Academy, Hollywood Cemetery and most Americans..1940-2022
..hattie was, NOT a positive example of Citizenry or womanhood by her 1930-1950 working place folk..and was/is not a shining example of Citizenry or womanhood 1930-2022...
..the ONLY BIA, African AMerican Member that has comment on this deaCON blag and ANY AND ALL deaCON blogs is I...
Do a poll deaCON, on deaCON faceBOOK, twitter or tikTok accounts...Who is Hattie McDaniel?.....
..hattie was NOT famous in 1940 or is she revered by Americans that take PRIDE in establishing Positive, models for American women...in this Womens' Month
Maybe deaCON enabled trump$$etters or COLORED'whiteSupremist-thinkers' appreciate hattie...poll them but SINCE I am deaCON only commentator do NOT ask me deaCON NONSENSE..

'gone with the wind' considered a COLORED'white" cultural "masterpiece-artisticExcellence" of slavery and glorification of mammies to COLORED'whiteMasters'
