Historical dictionary of African-American television

"From Amos 'n' Andy to The Jeffersons to Family Matters, Historical Dictionary of African-American Television covers it all. The introduction traces the difficult journey African-American performers faced while advancing to the present, more satisfactory situation, and a chronology details the notable people and events along the way. The dictionary includes hundreds of entries on many different genres, including animation, documentaries, sit-coms, sports, talk shows, and variety shows and popular performers, such as Muhammad Ali, Louis Armstrong, Bill Cosby, and Oprah Winfrey, as well as lesser-known and up-and-coming actors. General information can also be found on African-American audiences, stereotypes, and related networks and organizations. A photospread contains images of prominent African Americans, and an extensive bibliography provides reference material."--BOOK JACKET.
