EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

I agree almost entirely with Walter Mosley’s article “A Closed Book” (May 29). The publishing industry may talk a good multicultural game, but it still doesn’t hire people of color. It’s not what was written that is amazing as much as having it printed.

Being in the movie industry for some 20 years and more, those same principles Mr. Mosley pointed out in the publishing business, applies to the motion picture and TV industry as well.

The question for Mr. Mosley: What is the ethnic makeup of crew members above and below the line in decision making positions on the set of the film being made from his novel, “Devil in a Blue Dress?”
