Host Roy Wood Jr. reminisces on his favorite Beyond the Scenes season 1 episodes that highlight Black representation in movies and television. Roy sits with Daily Show writer, Josh Johnson, and JumpStart Comics creator, Robb Armstrong, to discuss how the first Black Peanuts cartoon character, Franklin, brightened the lives of young Black children. Next, Daily Show writer, Ashton Wommack, filmmaker, Tananarive Due, author and screenwriter, Steven Barnes, and author and educator, Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, join Roy to talk about their favorite Black Horror movies and the evolutionary roles Black actors played within this genre. Roy wraps this recap up with Daily Show producer, Chelsea Williamson, and creator and showrunner of Amazon’s Harlem, Tracy Oliver, as they highlight the importance of portraying vulnerable moments Black women experience to remind the world that a Black woman’s strength does not equal invincibility.

ReplyDark humor. Love it.
ReplyLight skinned blacks are at an advantage especially the mixed ones. Look at the Beyonce getting played and you Trevor. If you were dark skinned from Africa or America they would employ you for that job. So you mixed blacks are at an advantage than dark ones
ReplyI tell my kids representation of black people on TV is what continued or problems. We were protrayed as ignorant, gangsta, single, poor, and loud as other races or portrayed as rich, powerful, and reserved. Boils my blood cause we allowed it. Now people think that about everyone.
