Make no mistake about it, today's Disk Jockeys are
much part of the American home and of community
life, the teacher the politician the preacher. BY
virtue of his direct line to your child and mine, the DJ
today molds public opinion establishes trends, and
fattens egos; in addition to his basic role of spinning
records for the purpose of entertainment.
For example, veteran nightclub performer turned
DJ, Willie Bryant doubled from the radio booth to
bustling office, where he served the people as the
Mayor" of Harlem, and succeeded by another
platter spinner, Tommy "Dr. Jive' Smalls Bristoe
Bryant, former State Senator, newspaper publisher,
and assistant PASTOR gave the people of Detroit fuel
for the spirit while spinning their favorite records
and DJ-turned-actor, Joe Adams became such force
in the community that Los Angeles proclaimed "Joe
Adams Day" in his honor

ties and shows a regular basis. The big adver-
tisng agencies have failed miserably to awaken pos
sble bankrollers to the wealth of entertainment pos
sibilites which exist in musical and/or dramatic
telecasts utilizing Negro talent.
The hate campaigns of the racist elements are
allowed to continue unabated, and the endless intimi-
daton of the televson industry by this group portends
little hope for the Negro in the medium
Infrequently noted, but still vital item in any
discussion about televsion and the Negro is the apa-
thetic interest shown by successful Negro businesses
in backing the Negros argument for representa-
tion in TV, with cold hard cash. in point
the failure of our huge cosmetics, insurance, and
savings and loan firms to forward and save the
recent Nat Cole television show from it's untimely
oblivion.
If ever there was "class" show, this was it! If
ever there was answer to the stereotypes perpe-
tuated against the Negro TV, this it! If
there showcase and sounding board for
full Negro businesses, this it! Think of it five
Negro companies putting up about $40, 900 weekly
apiece, could have saved the Nat Cole teevison show
and proved to the networks the advertising agencies
and the racists alike hatwe like other racial groups
are behind professional performers not only in
numbers and spirit, but with cold cash.

Finally, the viewing public stands indicted for
the ofttimes miserable fare which explodes from
the teevison screens nightly. 1t is not enough to
protest the inequities of television programming
we must learn to praise, via letters and telephone
calls, those networks which continually offer and
supply showcase for nedgling Negro performers
and established stars.
Additionally, must learn to ignore those radio
and televsion stations which invariably forget that
there ARE Negro cops, postmen, foremen, doctors
and judges, when casting their televsion plays and
blithely assume that they know what is "best" for
the Negro, in preparing the musical fare which is
beamed into Negro communities all over the country
There is as much need for the periodical tele-
visng of Spectacular, spotlighting the talents
of Negro composers, directors, choreographers, ac
tors, singers dancers and choraliers, there is
need for radio program which, once per week at
least, attempts to tell the entire community about
the Negros contribution to the arts in American life.

casting industry will end such vicious practices
double standards" and race programming', and
rescue it from the depths of mediocrity into which
it has plunged.
