Palmour Street, A Study of Family Life (1949) (also titled "Palmour Street (1949) | A Black Family in Gainesville, GA") is a short black and white documentary film written, produced and directed by the prolific filmmaker and "father of Public Access Television", George C. Stoney, and his collaborator Bill Clifford.[1] Premiering at the old Fair Street School in Gainesville, Georgia, the film's purpose was to promote the growth of the African American middle class.

With a runtime of 24 minutes, the film was produced in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Public Health, the Hall County, Georgia Health Department and the Southern Educational Film Production Service. The film sits within the Library of Congress and its American Archives Of The Factual Film Collection Repository - Motion Picture, Broadcasting And Recorded Sound Division.

"Palmour Street" stands apart from the majority of 1950 films incorporating African-Americans by portraying an African-American family living a normal life, atypical of the standard racist narratives and stereotypical scenarios of that era.
