Was Blossoming of Blacks a Fad headline analysis
Vernon Scott of UPI surveys Hollywood attitudes toward racial casting in TV and film. He argues integration has been a temporary trend fading over two to three years with fewer black regulars on the 1971-72 TV season while earlier shows leave the payroll. He cites flops and box office disappointments as possible signs of waning interest and questions whether attitudes, economics, or viewer appetite drive the change.
