Excellent Book
I enjoyed reading this book it went over a lot of history of black television shows. It listed the trailblazers & pioneers who helped established how we got our start. I enjoyed reading about some shows I had missed before although I did know the majority of these shows being a child of the 70’s. I highly recommend reading this book.
