Julia

By Wikipedia

Julia was a groundbreaking television series which was the first to show an African American main character in a non-stereotypical role. The show starred actress and singer Diahann Carroll and ran on NBC from 1968 to 1971.

In the past, other series, such as Beulah, had the main characters as maids, or other subservient roles. In Julia, Carroll played a single mother who was a nurse in a doctor's office. The doctor was played by Lloyd Nolan, and Julia's romantic interests by Paul Winfield and Fred Williamson.We've not had time to write about this TV show yet.

I've only seen one episode of this show. It was a Christmas episode. Julia's son and another little boy argued whether Santa Claus was black or white. I recall this situation being handled very intelligently and non-biased. I would have liked to catch other episodes of this show. The late 60's and early to mid Super70s television programming was the best there ever was. --Tim Duncan
