you had shows like star trek and then this show with a black woman in outer space. then you had mission impossible and you had greg mars in there. you had more black performers coming on series. now, it is being seen that tv should change. and, african americans are appearing in an important significant roles. supporting characters are fine, but the lead characters were still going to be white. one show, though, think about it, is different. room 222 . good morning. good morning, mr. dixon. it was set in an incredibly diverse high school in los angeles. and the lead character was played by lloyd hayes. he plays pete dixon. mr. butcher. sir? they will be expecting me in the detention room.
