The network was a pioneer in TV programming aimed at minority audiences and featuring minority performers, at a time when the other American networks aired few television series for non-whites. Among DuMont's minority programs were "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong", starring Asian American film actress Anna May Wong, the first US TV show to star an Asian American; and "The Hazel Scott Show", starring pianist and singer Hazel Scott, the first US network TV series to be hosted by a black woman.
