In this pioneering study of two metropolitan districts?Boston and Detroit?Yuya Kiuchi paints a rich and fascinating historical account of African Americans working with municipal offices, local politicians, cable service providers, and other interested parties to realize fair African American representation and media ownership. Their success provides a useful lesson of community organizing, image production, education, and grassroots political action that remains relevant and applicable even today. 606 $aAfrican Americans in television broadcasting$xHistory 606 $aAfrican Americans on television$xHistory 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCable television$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans in television broadcasting$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican Americans on television$xHistory. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCable television$xSocial aspects 676 $a791.45/652996 700 $aKiuchi$b Yuya$01658145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814620303321 996 $aStruggles for equal voice$94011964 997 $aUNINA
