Equal Time : Television and the Civil Rights Movement Hardback
by Aniko Bodroghkozy
Part of the The History of Media and Communication series
Hardback
Description
Equal Time: Television and the Civil Rights Movement explores the crucial role of network television in reconfiguring new attitudes in race relations during the civil rights movement.
Due to widespread coverage, the civil rights revolution quickly became the United States' first televised major domestic news story.
This important medium unmistakably influenced the ongoing movement for African American empowerment, desegregation, and equality.
Aniko Bodroghkozy brings to the foreground network news treatment of now-famous civil rights events including the 1965 Selma voting rights campaign, integration riots at the University of Mississippi, and the March on Washington, including Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
She also examines the most high-profile and controversial television series of the era to feature African American actors--East Side/West Side, Julia, and Good Times--to reveal how entertainment programmers sought to represent a rapidly shifting consensus on what "blackness" and "whiteness" meant and how they now fit together.
