as a white negro with very little negro-ness. don t worry about it. there will be another monday next week. be at the beginning there were certain stations that wouldn t even carry it, especially in the south. back in the 60s whenever a black person was on television, it was particularly pressure. it was a huge responsibility for diane carroll to have broken that ground. it was a bit too much. by that i mean the responsibility of it was maybe one that i shouldn t have taken so seriously. it really drove ms. carroll to the verge of a nervous breakdown. a lot of people feel i didn t take it seriously enough but i do think we were a beginning and that beginning i think has resulted in a lot of things we re seeing on the air today. go crazy, remember it s a business dinner not a costume party. on a spotty network this is what she heard. just wear something crazy, remember it s a costume party. a costume party!? yes!
went to a lunch where the speaker was a civil rights leader, larry wilkins, who talked about the significance of representation. so kanter decided to crete a program that would calm a lot of the racial tensions in america. joya is about a single mom who s a nurse. she has a young child. her husband died in vietnam. frankly you re not what i expected. did you expect me to be older or younger? huh. it was the first starring role for a black woman who was not a domestic. that will teach you. but they avoided showing her as a black woman as much as possible to make it more palatable for white audiences. diane carroll described julia
mother, i freaked out. look, darling. i felt hyka a truck driver around diane carroll. what is that dress? it just screams first communion. she was always the only black woman on the set of julia. she let us know how special it was that we were on a set with all these black people. different world was a success because it wasn t a bunch of white men telling little black kids what they were like growing up. i credit all that to our producer and our director, debbie allen. it was like, how come we deeper than all these characters. she d gone to howard university, so she brought something organic and authentic. she saw the humanity of a black world. it was a chance for writers, creators, in front and behind camera to tell our story. what is this?
