    the publicity material.      713 00:48:47,391 --> 00:48:50,727   Putting down "him"              must have been rough.           714 00:48:51,561 --> 00:48:54,698    You know, it must             have been rough                  715 00:48:54,731 --> 00:48:59,069    because the "he" and the        "him" was garnering success    716 00:48:59,102 --> 00:49:00,871     here in Toronto,

719 00:49:10,247 --> 00:49:12,416   That would've been                messed up people's heads.     720 00:49:13,917 --> 00:49:16,053    Rob Bowman:                       After the success               of "Any Other Way,"           721 00:49:16,086 --> 00:49:19,723  Jackie was invited to perform     at "The Ed Sullivan Show."     722 00:49:19,756 --> 00:49:21,058    Ed Sullivan, at the time,

728 00:49:30,767 --> 00:49:33,603    It was the most important      way to get exposure.            729 00:50:04,634 --> 00:50:09,106    Elaine Gaber-Katz:              Jackie Shane was bold

to the discourse.                736 00:50:28,358 --> 00:50:31,161   Rob Bowman:                        Not only did she refuse       to do "Ed Sullivan,"            737 00:50:31,194 --> 00:50:33,630   Jackie refused to do             "American Bandstand"           738 00:50:33,663 --> 00:50:36,333    because the                       show was racist.             739 00:50:36,366 --> 00:50:38,301     Black kids were excluded     740 00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:40,971    and although a lot of the     artists on the show were Black,  741 00:50:41,004 --> 00:50:43,140    Black kids weren't allowed

746 00:51:14,204 --> 00:51:17,674    Rodney Diverlus:                 "Bandstand" was propping         up specific Black artists     747 00:51:17,707 --> 00:51:18,842   without allowing Black folks   748 00:51:18,875 --> 00:51:21,511  to come and be a part             of their audience.             749 00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:23,680   Non-Black folks want             Black culture often,

   It's incredibly courageous       to sit by your convictions    753 00:51:32,889 --> 00:51:34,558     and to sacrifice               how that show                  754 00:51:34,591 --> 00:51:36,359
