39. There were local talk and variety shows such as Like It Is on<br />
WABC-TV and Positively Black on WNBC-TV in New York. While certainly<br />
not denying their relevance, I choose to concentrate on Black Journal<br />
because of its national audience. In the fiction vein, shows like the groundbreaking<br />
East Side/West Side did tackle issues dealing with African Americans<br />
but did not sustain in the ratings and were quickly canceled.<br />
40. As noted within the introduction, the positing of class differences<br />
also complicated uplift. However, when I refer to popular notions of uplift,<br />
I am implying the group struggles for advancement.<br />
41. Among its many recommendations, the Kerner Commission’s report<br />
suggested that the media needed to increase its coverage of issues within<br />
the black community.<br />
