Public Arena: The Neglect of the Black Intellectual.

African Commentary: A Journal of People of African Descent, v1 n2 p38-39 Nov 1989

Although there are talk shows dedicated to Black opinion and issues, commercial television presents the unfounded impression of a shortage of African-American intellectual talent, suggesting contribution to society-wide political and socioeconomic debate by Black politicians and activists only.
