New on ABC: Black-ish

One of the best new shows of the year is Anthony Anderson’s “Black-ish.”  Anderson plays Andre “Dre” Johnson has a great job, a beautiful mixed-race doctor wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), four kids, and a colonial home in the mostly-white suburbs.  But now that he has given his children a better life, he worries that they are so assimilated into upper middle class white culture that they are losing their identity as African Americans, that they are only “black-ish.”  

The people behind the show have prepared some discussion materials for church and school groups and families.  If you’d like a copy, send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with Black-ish in the subject line.
