* ValuesDissonance: It's a work from 1944, so there's a ''lot'' of examples. Even the title gets this - "Negro" is a loaded term in the [=21st=] century (partly due to its use ''during'' this era), but at the time of production it was the polite term for Americans of African descent and the title was meant to be respectful.
* ValuesResonance: Say what you will about the film omitting some very important parts of U.S. history, but this is one of the very few movies of that time period where Black Americans were portrayed as normal people. Many blacks even used this film to justify civil rights for themselves. And once again, this was 1944.
