Biographical History
Jacqueline (Jackie) Sharer was an independent producer and director of documentary films about African Americans. Shearer was born in Boston and graduated from Brandeis University. Her films included "A Minor Altercation" (1978), and "The Keys to the Kingdom" and "The Promised Land" (1989), two segments of the Emmy Award-winning "Eyes on the Prize" (1991), a documentary series about the civil rights movement that aired on public television. She also produced "The Colored 54th Regiment" (1991) which also aired on public television. Her final project "Didn't Take Low," also known as "Addie and the Pink Carnations," was in development for 10 years, but did not reach final production due to limited funding resources and Shearer's death in 1993 due to colon cancer.
