Harrison Museum: BHM Film – Month of Micheaux: Murder In Harlem

Murder In Harlem – An African-American man is framed for the murder of a white woman, but a white man is responsible. Author-turned-attorney Henry Glory is hired by the accused man’s sister to defend him. Glory pieces the crime together, and the white killer is revealed. The film is loosely based on the real life case of Leo Frank. However, it changes the details of the real case, which was highly prejudicial against Frank due to his being a Jewish man in Georgia. Unlike in the film, Frank’s guilt is often viewed with great skepticism due to his never receiving a fair trial.
