Sep 9, 2025
From Amos 'n' Andy to The Jeffersons and Good Times, Black television was historically shaped by white writers and creators. But in the 1990s, a rise in shows by Black creators brought social issues to the forefront, allowing Black television to go beyond merely reflecting culture, but to create it with shows such as In Living Color and The Arsenio Hall Show.

The responsibility and power of storytelling is demonstrated through the work of Shonda Rhimes, Oprah Winfrey, and other creators, as well as stories depicting the breadth of the Black experience. With ownership of news and entertainment properties, Black creators now shape perception and policy – while honoring the scope of their history in all its paradoxes and complexities.
