Teja Arboleda's PBS documentary "Crossing The Line: Multiracial
Comedians" wins Silver TELLY Award, 30th Annual Telly Awards,
documentary category.
"The timeliness of multiracial comedians' roles as cross-racial
mediators is underscored as they provide insight into controversies
over how comedians express race (i.e., Michael Richards' use of the N-
word, Rosie O' Donnell's slurs), and other debated meanings of race in
an increasingly diverse society. Exploring these questions exposes the
very nature of where pain and laughter come from in a racially divided
world."
