In the 1970s, Hollywood was not immune to systemic racism, which manifested in various ways, including pay disparities. Unfortunately, the cast of "What's Happening!!" experienced firsthand the effects of this inequality. Despite their contributions to the show's success, actors of color, such as Ernest Thomas, Haywood Nelson, Fred Berry, Mabel King, and Shirley Hemphill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv0agnqAgS0), were paid less than their white counterparts.
