As part of our continuing celebration of Black History Month, here's a classic November 1982 episode of TONY BROWN'S JOURNAL that featured the subject "Blacks on White TV".

Prominent African American actors on soaps at the time are interviewd including ANOTHER WORLD's Michele Shay, EDGE OF NIGHT's Mariann Aalda, and ALL MY CHIDLREN's Darnell Williams.
