![]() | Black, White, and in Color: Television and Black Civil Rights Subjects: African Americans on television; Television broadcasting of news -- United States; African Americans -- Press coverage -- History -- 20th century; African Americans -- Civil rights -- History -- 20th century; This book examines the representation of blackness on television at the height of the southern civil rights movement and again in the aftermath of the Reagan-Bush years. In the process, it looks carefully at how television's ideological projects with respect to race have supported or conflicted with the industry's incentive to maximize profits or consolidate power.
