This is the final episode of a seven part series in which I feature guests that are all People of Color that performed in Hallelujah Hollywood, Jubilee, and/or Hello, Hollywood, Hello between 1973-2016. To culminate this series, I bring together the most impactful stories, previously unpublished, from the guests in this series and a few more from other guest’s conversations. We talk about racial discrimination in entertainment in the 50s and 60s, Hollywood casting in the 70s, casting for LA music videos in the 80s, racial discrimination in Europe in the 80s, how sticking with the “status quo” was important to the show’s standards, embracing the history of the “Ebony line” and appreciating the People of Color that paved the way for the younger generations of Jubilee dancers. This episode features Pete Menefee, Jakki Ford, Victor Littles, Anthony Brown, Gayve Littles, Frieda Bronfin, Eileen Ryans Scott and Andrew Branche as they share their experiences of racial discrimination in the entertainment industry.

Check out the show notes here with a link to the original article referenced about the original Ebony line captain, LaVerne Ligon. Let’s keep the conversation going! Join the conversation and share what your favorite moment in this series was. I look forward to connecting with you! 😍
