This resulted in a number of shows about blacks, such as A Different World (1987–1993), Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990–1996), and In Living Color (1990–1994). The latter show purposefully based much of its irreverent humor on African American stereotypes. The Fox television network, which produced Living Single, Martin, and South Central, became the first television network to focus on attracting black viewers. Actor Tim Reid, for one, complained that these shows also perpetuated black stereotypes, particularly those related to hip-hop culture. The fragmentation caused by cable television in the 1980s led to the creation of new networks, such as Black Entertainment Television (BET), which catered specifically to blacks.

Katie Dixon April 8, 2015 Period 3 During the 1940s and 1950s, executive actions set the pace for movement toward desegregation. President Harry S. Truman “expanded on Roosevelt’s limited and tentative steps toward racial moderation and reconciliation.” In 1948, President Truman signed Executive Order 9981, desegregating the military. Truman’s civil rights policies contributed to the unraveling of the solid Democratic South. President Dwight D. Eisenhower began to desegregate Washington, DC, overseeing the integration of blacks to the military, and promoting minority rights in federal contracts.
