Trade Review
"It's fucking great that someone recognizes and appreciates what we were doing during this important period in television history. Christine Acham gets it and spells it out. Got it?" - Richard Pryor "This work is vitally important to understanding how the Black Power and Arts Movements, the Chitlin' Circuit and television history converged in the 1970s with mixed results." - Black Issues Book Review"
