{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
They were supposed to make a television show out of Brewster's Place,
[00:31:18]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
But when you do go to the movies now, do you particularly like to go see Black films? Or you see whatever comes around.
[00:32:23]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
I like to see Black music uh, films
[00:32:28]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
