Currently identified as "Fieldwork Footage," this 3-minute excerpt shows the Loughman, Florida, logging community in 1928. The first part is filmed from a moving traincar and shows Black workers pulling lumber from the forest and loading it onto the cars. Then we see a shot of the cars moving through town, loaded with lumber. The final 20 seconds shows a streetcar parked in front of what appears to be a house. While Cudjo Lewis (born Oluale Kossola) was not in this specific "fieldwork footage," I feel that it wouldn't be inaccurate to keep him on the credits, as he is in Hurston's other footage that was shot at the time.
