Filmmaker George Broome helmed the project. The film was shown at theaters and churches to African American audiences. Segregation was in force. It is one of the earliest African American film projects. The film was followed by A Day At Tuskegee in 1913.[5]
The film, or a version of it, was still distributed as of 1922. This was an unusually long period compared to comparable films.[6]
