- "I Am The Night-Color Me Black" is about the wrongful execution of a black man for a killing of a bigot in self-defense. The episode is clearly based on lynchings (and partially inspired by Emmett Till's death), features black men speaking from the voice of moral authority over white people, and heavily implies that many in the town don't care whether the man's guilty so long as they get to kill him. This episode aired in the final season in 1964, after the show's cancellation, and bare months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
i didn't think that guy was black
Should this work have an Ensemble Dark Horse subpage now that it has over eight entities (several for multiple characters at a time)?
