Color Adjustment
VHS, 88 min., 1991
This film brings a study of racial prejudice into the Television Age. It reveals how network television reluctantly and selectively "integrated" African Americans into America's primetime family. From Amos 'n Andy to The Cosby Show, this film traces over forty years of turbulent race relations through the lens of prime time entertainment. Two parts: Color Blind TV (1948-68) and Coloring the Dream (1968- ).
