In 1999 Kwesi Mfume was the president of the NAACP in July 1999 and saw that none of the 26 new comedies and dramas being launched had a minority performer in a leading or prominent role and said "When the television viewing public sits down to watch the new prime-time shows scheduled for this fall's lineup, they will see a virtual whitewash in programming." With this in mind this week we brought together a Roundtable of TV Writers to discuss if 1999 brough more diversity to TV and what work still needs to be done to make the industry as inclusive as possible.

Aaron Thomas (Showrunner/Creator of SWAT)
Alexander Woo (Creator/Showrunner of The Terror:Infamy)
