During the 1990s, Classen conducted extensive interviews with more than two dozen African Americans living in Jackson, several of whom, decades earlier, had fought to integrate television programming. He draws on these interviews not only to illuminate their perceptions-of the civil rights movement, what they accomplished, and the present as compared with the past-but also to reveal the inadequate representation of their viewpoints in the legal proceedings surrounding wlbt's licensing. The story told in Watching Jim Crow has significant implications today, not least because the Telecommunications Act of 1996 effectively undid many of the hard-won reforms achieved by activists-including those whose stories Classen relates here.
Steven D. Classen is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at California State University, Los Angeles.
