The grants were announced Thursday during BPM’s PitchBLACK Awards.
The series, which launches this month, coincides with LGBT History Month and Transgender Awareness Week in November.
The grants were announced Thursday night at the PitchBLACK Awards.
Each of the nonprofits that fund and support public TV content by and for diverse communities will receive an additional $500,000.
The initiative includes programs from “PBS NewsHour,” “Frontline,” “POV” and “Independent Lens.”
Four documentary projects are receiving support from a fund honoring the late executive director of Black Public Media.
Grants will pay tribute to the Peabody Award–winner who died in January at age 52.
The fund, seeded with $300,000 from CPB, will be managed by Black Public Media.
Attendees at the Black Public Media event this month said virtual reality offers a chance to stamp the emerging medium with black stories and sensibilities.
