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
