From Amos 'n 'Andy to The Cosby Show, this documentary from the United States shows how 40 years of race relations have been reflected in prime time American television. Clips from classic shows, reminiscences and reflections are interspersed with news footage of the civil rights struggle, to demonstrate how the networks reflect divisive racial conflict and at the same time absorb it into their familiar and non-threatening, popular formats.Contributors

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
