Night of the living dead -1968-George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, one of the most influential of the low-budget horror films to proliferate in the 70's, has a black actor... Duane Jones as its protagonist.
In the movie, Jones projects an urbane, upwardly mobile attitude in his idealized role as the resourceful black survivor. In eveyone of the Living Dead sequels a black character would play either the lead or a proiminent role. Back in the days, I guess that wasn't so common on screen.
Let's listen to a well orchestrated track from the same period (1968!) by the austrian pianist Roland Kovac. This is an obscure, jazzy and trippy suite (or soundtrack) called Power Start, released on the independent german jazz label MPS Records.
