In its three seasons, Black-ish has been nominated for eight Emmys, three Golden Globes (with a win for Tracee Ellis Ross for Best Actress), and won the Peabody Award in 2015. Though often pigeonholed into another run-of-the-mill ABC primetime sitcom, the show frequently introduces mainstream audiences to pretty challenging ideas. Take, for example, Black-ish's stunning response to the 2016 presidential election.

In the show's Season Four premiere, Dre suggests celebrating a holiday for black people, rather than the tyrant Christopher Columbus. So they begin learning about Juneteenth—the holiday that marks the end of the delay of emancipation of slaves until June 19, 1865—through a playful, Schoolhouse Rock-style song by The Roots. The innocent cartoon characters are juxtaposed with the brutal reality of the holiday, which includes this verse from Black Thought:

“I am a slave in the home of the brave. A product of the triangular trade, please pardon my ways. If I’m nervous or the slightest bit skittish in the presence of the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, or British. They kept me in colonial chains. Tell me how to persuade them to chill or to save me and still I’m a slave. I hope and pray that they don’t kill me today. I am still just a slave.”

It's certainly as important to learn as "I'm Just a Bill."
