Miss Betty Riley of Saint John was both a pioneer in being one of few female producers, not to mention Black and she produced the very first all black television program. Her television program, "Black Is," dealt with issues that the Black community faced and was aired every week in Montreal.
Thank you for acknowledging my aunt ....she eventually moved to Southern Ontario where she had family ...also had a local cable show in the mid to late 80s she was and is an inspiration to anyone that knew her r.i.h. 💘
You're very welcome! We're honoured to include Miss Riley among our list of outstanding Black New Brunswickers. Best.
