Black and White is a 1932 Soviet animated short film directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Leonid Amalrik.
We're introduced to our main character of the poem named Willie a old black shoeshine man, who makes the fatal mistake of asking the sugar king mister Bragg: "Why should sugar that is ever so white As snow should be made by a negro?"
In the moment of the film poor Willie gets knocked by the horrible sugar king and droves off, Then he began picturing scenes of innocent people being taken to jail and we're sent to electric chair.
The soundtrack of the film is the traditional Negro spiritual titled: "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child".
Stylistically the animated short, like many other European animated films, places emphasis the communication of ideas and messages; a direct contrast to the style favored by Disney, which sought to "create relatable characters with expressive personalities and attitudes.
