Frederick W. Gooding Jr. is an assistant professor of African American studies within the Honors College at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Gooding critically analyzes race within mainstream media, effectively contextualizing contemporary problematic patterns based upon their historical roots.
T his work would not be possible without the contributions of others, whether they are luminaries in the field, such as Donald Bogle or Sheila Yvonne, or the humane librarians staffed at the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Additionally, funds from TCUs Research and Creative Activities Fund aided me in spending valuable research time in California. Had I been rushing, I would not have been relaxed enough to strike up pleasant conversation with Herrick Library staff, who facilitated my holding an actual Oscar statuette in my own hands!
Lastly, I wish to acknowledge the families of all the Black Oscar nominees and the Black nominees themselvesit is not easy being in the spotlight, let alone having ones image scrutinized and analyzed. The roles discussed herein are not being criticized inasmuch as they are being critiquedmay we all grow as we go accordingly.
