I just found a letter I wrote when I was a kid to Mr. Steven Spielberg c/o Columbia Pictures: “I have been impressed and thrilled by your films beauty, craftsmanship and sensitivity, and by your ability to create worlds I can escape into. There is only one strong criticism I have… I’ve seen every major film you have made, and not once can I recall seeing a major character being played by a Black actor or actress. I thought I’d appeal to you to use ethnic actors.“
Oh, yes I did.
