IMHO
An example of quality media that you think we as Black people should support...
My vote would go for your local PBS station. While I do watch some Network TV shows on an irregular basis, I find that for honest, varied, critical, and open depictions of African-American life and quite frankly, humanity in general- PBS is the best option. Low-class, middle-class, and high-class- PBS covers them all.
Examples include:
This Far By Faith (Black Spirituality and History)
Ken Burn's Jazz Series (Black culture and music)
Africans in America (Black History)
Huey P. Newton Story (Black History)
The Brothermen (Black Music)
Soliders w/o Swords (Black Press)
Rise and Fall of Jim Crow (Black History)
of course, Sesame Street (for kids of all ages and colors)
If you think PBS is for old people, think again. It is a WONDERFUL alternative to some of the mindless TV goo.
