Color Adjustment is a 1992 documentary film that traces the evolution of the black image in television from the explicitly racist 1948 to more subtle 1988, where blacks are portrayed as wealthy and having achieved the American dream, an image that director Marlon Riggs finds inconsistent with reality. Featuring clips from Amos 'n' Andy, Beulah, The Nat King Cole Show, Julia, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Roots, The Cosby Show and others, Riggs portrays an illuminating history of the race conflict as reflected in television.[1]

Color Adjustment was met with high critical praise, receiving a Peabody Award and being nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.[2] It was also aired as part of the P.O.V. series on PBS.
