One thing that I valued more than anything while growing up was being able to sit down on my couch, turn on the television and see someone that had a skin color similar to mine. It was so soothing to be able to watch Blacks thrive in a realm where they’re often left out. Even to this day we continue to have problems with diverse casts for television shows and movies. To give you a dose of melanin and a big whiff of nostalgia, below is a list of Black television shows you more than likely had your eyes glued to as a kid.
1. Martin
2. Moesha
3. Cousin Skeeter
4. Gullah Gullah Island
5. That’s So Raven
6. The Parkers
7. The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
8. A Different World
9. The Cosby Show
10. Smart Guy
11. Kenan & Kel
12. Sister, Sister
13. Living Single
