Mission Impossible

677
Akin to I Spy, Mission Impossible premiered in the mid-1960s and both shows cast a black actor in a prominent role. In the case of Mission Impossible, Greg Morris played Barnard "Barney" Collier, a highly skilled government secret agent. However, like it's predecessor, despite the fact that the show portrayed international sites and aired at in the age of Third World revolutions, decolonization, and an increase in African Americans exploring their African roots and connections, Mission Impossible was a race neutral show. Specifically, Morris's race was very seldom of subject. A journalist in the December 1967 edition of Ebony Magazine wrote, “Greg [Morris] was able to cash in on what he calls the “age of enlightenment” in Hollywood and, as a Negro, win one of the few “non-racial” roles in television.”
