The New York Times — On TV, Less Separate, More Equal

Article from The New York Times dated April 29, 1990, by John J. O’Connor (Arts & Leisure section). The piece examines how portrayals of Black performers on television were evolving in the late 1980s and early 1990s, highlighting shows such as In Living Color, Brewster Place, and A Different World. Degrassi High is specifically noted with a photograph featuring BLT (Dayo Ade) and Michelle (Maureen McKay), illustrating the inclusion of diverse characters in youth-oriented programming. The continuation of the article appears in the Television section (page 35), though the Degrassi reference is only made in the first part.
