After listening to the satire show, and commenting regarding George Schuyler, and given much black-white conflict "in the news these days" (notably, white cops brutalizing black folks), I'm thinking: what about a show about black-white alliances in US history? (To be titled, e.g., "We Can All Just Get Along".) By which I do not mean to do Abolitionism or the Underground Railroad or the 20th-century Civil Rights movement, but less-well-known episodeslike

• the Louisiana Native Guard, who rather adroitly switched from Confederate to Union

• left "fusion" politics in places like Wilmington, NC

• the "black right," including folks like George Schuyler (a favorite of H.L. Mencken, later a McCarthyite, a Bircher, and a Nixonite) and James Brown (another Nixonite)

• the fascinating biracial family of George Schuyler, Josephine Lewis Cogdell, and Philippa Schuyler
