Beautiful African Men
Anyone who doubts the beauty of the African male should check out the YouTube video Beautiful African Men which is a series of still photos of men from various African countries (Ghana, Congo, Nigeria, etc.). The photo gallery is set to an uptempo soundtrack. The only celebrities whose names I recognize are actors Boris Kodjoe and Idris Elba. But, famous or not, all the men are worthy of a look. Black is indeed beautiful.

An Actor's Plans
Darnell Williams, the popular black actor who at one time played Jesse Hubbard on the now-defunct daytime drama All My Children: "The actors can't bring about the change [in the TV image of blacks]. It has to be the producers. People behind the scenes with the money. Actors can only do their job. I think actors if they want to [bring about] change, they have to stop acting and start producing and directing. I'm going to do it. I want to direct. I want to go through the artistic end of it. I want to produce and direct eventually."
From an unpublished item I wrote for the now-defunct National Scene magazine's "Blacks in the Media" issue (1982). Williams's sentiments are still relevant in the 21st century.
