Hard to believe that's been over 50 years ago now. Thanks Luke!
This is from the PBS documentary Brown Sugar: 80 Years of Black Female Superstars, based on the incredible book by Donald Bogle. Thanks for posting!
I remember that program. I believe the author of the book, Donald Vogel was the host/narrator.Quote:

You got it. Bogle is my idol; he's the ultimate authority on African-Americans' contributions to film in particular. I got the chance to chat him up after his guest lecture at my university eons ago. It was thrilling.Quote:
