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.
