Oscar Devereaux Micheaux (US: /m?'?o?/; January 2, 1884 – March 25, 1951) was an author, film director and independent producer of more than 44 films.
Although the short-lived Lincoln Motion Picture Company was the first movie company owned and controlled by black filmmakers, Micheaux is regarded as the first major African-American feature filmmaker, a prominent producer of race films, and has been described as "the most successful African-American filmmaker of the first half of the 20th century".
He produced both silent films and sound films.
