The award-winning documentary Color Adjustment by noted filmmaker Marlon Riggs examines how network television absorbed deep-seated racial strife and converted it into the non-threatening offers of twentieth-century prime-time television. The video, narrated by Ruby Dee, looks at classic series like Amos 'n' Andy (1951) and improves our memories of television shows like Frankie Lyman's first appearance on The Frankie Laine Show (1956).
