With the historical success of black American actors, Gates wonders if this signifies a change in the entertainment industry. He examines the factor of race in Hollywood and the music recording industry. Includes interviews with Chris Tucker, Samuel L. Jackson, Alicia Keys, Quincy Jones, Nia Long, Don Cheadle, and John Singleton. This series was originally broadcast on PBS in February of 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
