Meanwhile, this happened yesterday afternoon: deadline/2014/02/viola-davis-to-topline-abc-pilot-how-to-get-away-with-murder-produced-by-shonda-rhimes/ This is filed under YES! YES GOD! And I think this is the *THIRD* in contention pilot with a black lead/black actor carrying a show this pilot season (Megan Good for Babylon Fields, Octavia Spencer as one of three leads on FOXs Red Band Society and now Viola? And Im sure John Ridleys American Crime (at ABC) will have a black lead *AND* Season 2 of NBCs Hannibal is diversifying its casting pilot with more faces of color and interesting storylines (i.e. a serial killer who kills based on skin color? Word) and Fullers subversively expanding the conversation of race on television i.e. where he plans to go if Hannibal gets picked up for more seasons etc.? Let me find out were going *HERE* on TV and its becoming an outstandingly great time for writers of any color trying to break in (yes, thats me and various others). WOOO HOOO! :) Rod McCullom Dionna Walters Kyana Brindle Jonathan Fass Kiese Laymon Tiffanie Joy Tito Burgos Joy Williams Nadia J Neelanjana Banerjee Shilpa MankikarEricka SimoneMaka Dang Dang
