Looking Through the Glass Darkly: the Black Image in American T.V., The First Two Decades

Abstract

In chronicling the development of the black image in television, I thank God who enabled me to benefit greatly from the Media Resource Center of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A deeper debt is owed to Dr. William Rugg, whose patience in the early stages of the exploration of the topic and whose guidance throughout the research and writing were of inestimable value in both intellectual stimulation and morale building.
