    In the '30s and '40s, great black actors like Theresa Harris and Clarence Muse were often marginalized in servile Hollywood roles. But the artistry of their performances still stood out.http://nyti.ms/2FhjhHv

        Hazel Scott absolutely refused to play these roles, spoke seven languages, was admitted to Juilliard at eight, and was attacked by the McCarthyists' HUAC as an early civil rights activist. Start with something better.

        Simply because a great actor is a great actor! Actors put in the time to make them great. However that blacks were held back from bigger roles is a shame and everyone's loss.
