will also be required to write an essay about how African Americans
were portrayed in shows that were broadcast during this era. Describe
how television helped to shape the image of Black America during the
1950's and 1960's. Discuss racial stereotyping. Research Roots from the 1970's. How was Roots
different from these earlier television shows (Good Times, Sanford
& Son, etc.) in terms of the depiction of African American popular
culture? Give examples. This paper should be 1-2 pages, in APA style,
