Non-Fiction History
See Black People is a narrative history of the behind-the-
scenes politics of black television and radio ownership,
including the stories of the failure of the Black Famlly
Channel, The World African Network, and Russell Simmons
Fabulous TV, as well as that of Catherine Hughes, who’d
aggressively acquired radio stations, becoming the first
black woman to head a firm that publicly traded on the
stock exchange. While securing its place in the
marketplace, the company is now 20 percent black owned. By
offering insights into the failure of public policy that
have impeded black access to ownership through the last
thirty years, the author explores that current state of
black media and questions its direction.
