I am wondering about other Pre 1967 moments when Black characters are shown pushing back at ill treatment, speaking in natural voices, having a life of their own away from the white characters.

Not exactly a "pushing back" moment, but Juano Hernandez stands "very TALL," and with his own voice, in Intruder in the Dust (1949) / Clarence Brown based on a William Faulkner novel.
