This link is talking about how black people during this time had to play unimportant parts in order to be part of a play. It also mentions that other common ways for black people to be featured in plays was by making them a victim of a ‘bullet in the gut’, basically getting killed later on. But it also mentions that not all black people were offended by this, some are pleased. Therefore it shows the different ways blacks take these approaches to them.

It was Motown’s all female singing group that was a hit in-between the years 1964-1969. These girls had 12 -#1 hits that expressed R&B music, most writing and producing by Holland-Dozier-Holland.

In this group there where three women under the names of Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson and Diana Ross. Betty McGlown was part of the group before they became the Supremes, that was when they where the Primes.

In 1915 Paul Robinson won a four-year scholarship to Rutgers University. He encountered some violence and racism, but nonetheless earned 15 varsity letters in baseball and basketball, and was twice named to the All-American football team, and finally, 13 years after his death, was admitted to the Football Hall of Fame. In later years, his name was removed from the Rutgers football team in reaction to his troubles with the Senator McCarthy hearings and the U.S. State Department's actions against him. This resulted in Rutgers having a football team of only ten players for those past years of Paul Robeson's stardom. Paul decided to study law, and graduated from Columbia Law School, the third black man to do so. But when he faced the realities of a Negro practicing law, and could do not get a white secretary to take his dictation, Paul Robeson decided his future might be in other pursuits, and answered requests to make movies and give concerts. This man, who became the most prominent baritone singer of his time, was denied membership in his college choir because of restrictions of campus social life denying Negroes participation.
