Sam
Trivia:
Sam didn't recall the Watts Riot. Also, his medical training gets a
real workout, especially in the clinic scene.
Al
Trivia:
Al did remember the Watts Riots, and had to fill in the gaps for Sam.
("...by the time it was over, 35 people were dead, hundreds were
injured and the main drag was known as 'Charcoal Alley.")
Al's
Outfits Worn in the Episode:
First - Green patterned shirt, green vest with a
black back, narrow diagonally-striped purple & white tie, black
pants.
Second - Dark lavender shirt and pants, light grayish-white nubby
textured
vest, silver-colored bar pin with 3 'coins' on it at the throat of the
shirt, and black shoes. Black-banded watch on left wrist.
Even though both actors in the kissing scene were Caucasian, Deborah Pratt remembered
about the production of this episode, "we had to go into the network
and fight with Standards and Practices about this kissing scene. And we
had sponsors pull and if I’m not mistaken a couple of places in the
South didn’t air the show... black people, white people, everybody had
a different attitude. There was anger and frustration, but no one
really understood what was happening.”
There is a "Mandela Effect" with the title
of this episode. Many fans remember it being called "Black &
White On Fire" instead of Black On White
On Fire." Perhaps it was typed incorrectly in a TV Guide or other
publication.

Marc Alaimo as Captain Paul Brewster: American
character actor Marc Alaimo (born Michael Joseph Alaimo) began acting
on the stage in the early 1960s. Even in his early days he had a
propensity for playing shady characters or sinister villains, including
the treacherous Iago of Shakespeare's Othello and the brutish Bill
Sykes of Oliver!. Alaimo had come to acting thanks to a high school
speech teacher who persuaded him to audition for school plays. He was
subsequently mentored by a professor of drama at Marquette University
where he not only acted in plays (1961-63) but also utilised his skills
as a handyman in the construction of sets. Alaimo
moved to New York in 1964 to perform with various off-Broadway
companies. He also went on tour (as Macduff) with the National
Shakespeare Company in a production of Macbeth. Between 1964 and 1966,
Alaimo completed studies in drama and ballet at the American Musical
and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). In 1965, he joined Equity, and, after
discovering that there was already a Michael Alaimo on their books,
changed his first name to Marc.The ensuing years saw him with the
Chelsea Theater Center in New York and the McCarter Theatre in
Princeton, New Jersey, for the latter in classical roles like Laertes
(Hamlet) and Lucky (Waiting for Godot). In 1967, Alaimo returned to his
home state to join the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. There, he was
acclaimed for his performance as the chief antagonist in Othello.
According to a reviewer for the university newspaper "His Iago is
flawless. He uses quick gestures and movement, and every word is
distinct. A turn of his head tells the audience what turn the
subsequent action will take...Alaimo uses his agile movements to fit
comfortably and perfectly into the role." Alaimo went on to other meaty
roles on the stage during the remainder of the sixties, often in famous
plays like A Streetcar Named Desire, The Importance of Being Earnest
and Marat-Sade. After headlining as a cat burglar in a Philadelphia
production of Sidney Kingsley's Detective Story, Alaimo relocated to
California in late 1973. In
addition to continuing his theatrical career, Alaimo had by 1970 segued
into television, cast in his first recurring role as Frank Barton in
the daytime soap The Doctors (1963). In Hollywood, he soon found
himself typecast, either as tough police officers or as baddies, though
on balance more often the latter. In one of his many villainous roles,
he played one of a duo of serial killers posing as an L.A. detective in
an episode of Police Story (1973). He appeared in many top-rated 1970s
and 80s crime shows, including The Rockford Files (1974), Barnaby Jones
(1973), Starsky and Hutch (1975), Kojak (1973) and Hill Street Blues
(1981), as well as in occasional feature films (one might recall his
alien assassin in The Last Starfighter (1984) or his Mexican cartel
boss in Tango & Cash (1989)). From 1987, Alaimo became a regularly
fixture --as multiple characters (and one standout role in
particular)--in the Star Trek franchise. He
became the first actor to portray a Romulan in Star Trek: The Next
Generation (1987) (Commander Tebok, in "The Neutral Zone") and the
first Cardassian (Gul Macet) ever featured in any Star Trek series
(TNG's "The Wounded'). Earlier, he had made his series debut --again in
heavy makeup -- as a lupine humanoid (Antican) delegate in the episode
"Lonely Among Us". Above all else,
Alaimo's definitive screen incarnation has been the complex, endlessly
scheming, power-obsessed, often deceptively amiable Cardassian military
leader Gul Dukat, first seen on TNG, but more prominently featured in
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) and considered by many fans to be one
of the greatest of all Star Trek villains. The actor himself (unlike
the DS9 writing staff) does not regard the Dukat character as evil,
explaining "I've tried to play him with some sort of sensitivity. I
could have gone one-dimensionally aggressive and mean and ugly with
this character if I'd chosen to. I have the feeling that's what they
kind of wanted. I thought, 'I've done that a hundred and fifty times
already.' So I wanted to give him some dimension, some depth, and I
think it's worked very well". Alaimo's
long neck, pronounced neck muscles and broad shoulders prompted make-up
artist Michael Westmore to accentuate these physical characteristics
(in particular, by creating the pronounced Cardassian neck ridges),
effectively creating a template for the menacing appearance of the
species. At a 2015 Star Trek convention, Alaimo was interviewed, saying
"I've had a pretty long career in a lot of different areas, but 'Deep
Space Nine' has become this wonderful little feather in my cap, and I'm
thankful for that. I'm proud of the series, and the whole experience
has been a very positive one for me."
Laverne Anderson as Cherri Hill: LaVerne Anderson is known for Uncle Buck (1989), CB4 (1993) and Quantum Leap (1989).
CCH Pounder as Nita Harper: The
CCH stands for Carol Christine Hilaria, her birth name. Most of her
characters are enriched with positive attributes -- strength,
confidence, integrity, strong-mindedness -- and it is a testament to
the abilities of this four-time Emmy nominated actress that she
continues on such a high plane in a five-decade career. Born on
Christmas Day 1952 in Guyana, she was raised on a sugar cane
plantation. Her parents, Betsy Enid Arnella (James) and Ronald
Urlington Pounder, moved the family to the States while she was still a
young girl, but she and her sister were subsequently sent to a convent
boarding school in Britain where they were introduced to art and the
classics. Following high school graduation, she arrived in New York and
studied at Ithaca College, where her acting talents were strongly
tapped into. Regional and classical repertory theater followed, earning
roles in such productions as "The Mighty Gents" (1979) with Morgan
Freeman at the New York Shakespeare Festival and "Open Admissions"
(1984), her Broadway debut. Other stage work includes "Coriolanus,"
"Antony and Cleopatra," "The Frog," "The Lodger" and "Mumbo Jumbo."
After bit/featured roles in All That Jazz (1979), I'm Dancing as Fast
as I Can (1982) and Prizzi's Honor (1985), CCH earned cult status in
the art-house film Bagdad Cafe (1987) (aka "Bagdad Café" in the US) as
the offbeat owner of a roadside café. She continued to impress with
support roles in Postcards from the Edge (1990), The Importance of
Being Earnest (1992), an all-black version: as Miss Prism), Benny &
Joon (1993), RoboCop 3 (1993), Sliver (1993), Tales from the Crypt:
Demon Knight (1995),Face/Off (1997), Funny Valentines (1999), The Devil
in Miss Jones 6 (1999), Baby of the Family (2002), Rain (2008), Orphan
(2009), Avatar (2009) (as the voice of Mo'at, and its sequels), My
Girlfriend's Back (2010). Home Again (2012) (as a Jamaican) and The
Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013). Pounder's prominence came,
however, with television. Often cast as succinct, professional types
(doctors, policewoman, judges) or characters with a variety of accents,
she is known for her understated intensity and earned an Emmy
nomination for her stint on the hospital drama ER (1994). She has also
performed in a number of highly acclaimed topical mini-movie dramas,
including Go Tell It on the Mountain (1985), Common Ground (1990),
Murder in Mississippi (1990), Little Girl Fly Away (1998), A Touch of
Hope (1999), Boycott (2001), Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story
(2004) (as Winnie Mandela) for which a number of kudos have come her
way. Millennium TV output includes regular/recurring roles on the
series The Shield (2002) in which she earned an NAACP Award and Emmy
nomination as Detective Claudette Wym; the social drama Ciencias del
espacio (2008) as matriarch Mrs. Trainor, and NCIS: New Orleans (2014)
as medical examiner Loretta Wade. She later found voice work in
animated projects and video games.

Medical Center Hospital is about eighteen miles away from Watts.
Lonnie states that "L.A. General" is only five miles away.
When Al

somewhere else, instead of from the Imaging Chamber door as intended.
In the
clinic scene, when the frantic mother rushes in with her
injured son - a severe gash on his leg from flying glass - the child
was absolutely calm; didn't make a sound or gesture, not so much as a
tear on his face. Anyone, and even more so a child, with an injury such
as he was supposed to have, would be screaming, crying, etc.
Quotable
Quotes:
"Seems no matter where we go, we can't get away from the hate."
How are we going to get in? Only Dr. Michaels has a
key.
The one thing we don't need in Watts right now is a key.
-- Susan and Papa D. about a local medical clinic, "Black on White on
Fire"
Raising your children is going to be hard no matter where you do it.
Why?
Because wherever you go, they won't fit in. They won't be black and
they won't be white.
They'll be human.
Of course they'll be human, child, I'm talking about race.
I know, but maybe if we teach our kids to say that they're human
instead of black or white or red or yellow, maybe race won't matter.
-- Mama Harper, Susan and Sam, "Black and White on Fire"
Sam, you did it.
Is it enough, Al, is it enough?
-- Al and Sam, "Black On White On Fire"

Synopsis & Review:
The
year is 1965 in Los Angeles, the time of Malcolm X and black
awareness---as Sam leaps into the body of Ray Harper (Garon Grigsby), a
promising African-American medical student who has the opportunity at
an internship at a Boston hospital. Ray currently lives in Watts and
it's the eve of the 1965 race riots.
He's engaged to Susan Brewster (Corie Henninger), a white girl, and
faces not only the wrath of her father Police Captain Paul Brewster
(Marc Alaimo), who questions her reason for dating Ray, but that of his
older brother Lonnie (Gregory Millar) and his friends, who more
vehemently, disapprove of he dating Susan. Al tells him that his
purpose is to keep Ray and Susan together but there is an outside
chance that Susan might die in the riots. As the violence and race
hatred grows in the community, both Ray and Susan must face the arduous
challenge of each communities prejudice as Sam as Ray, must keep Ray's
love for a Susan alive, despite the prejudice, anger and hostility
surrounding them on the eve of the Watts riots.
As the episode begins, Sam, as Ray, is getting pummled upon by his
brother Lonnie's friends, who show not only disdain of Ray dating
Susan, but also distrusts her dating Ray, as Lonnie says it's only
because she wants to showcase Ray as "a trophy among her white liberal
friends". In the original order of events before Sam's leap into Ray,
the leapee, it had Ray and Susan breaking up and he giving up on his
ambitions of becoming a doctor.Source
Personal Review by Sherdran <aka> Eleiece:
Taking
a moment from history, especially history so recent as 1965, and
attempting to condense it down into a one-bite morsel in order to give
someone a taste of the things that were melded together to bring that
particular moment into being is, at the very least, a daunting idea.
One has to balance the reality of that historical moment with how to
tell it, how to present that moment in a one-hour storyline (the
morsel). How to, on one hand, do it without glossing it over or, on the
other hand, trying to cram too much bitterness into that morsel to make
it what the presenter thinks the viewer 'ought' to 'taste', instead of
letting the viewer make up their own mind about what it is they've
tasted.
A delicate balance must be struck if that 'morsel' has a chance of
being considered by the viewer as worthy to have been partaken of. In
this particular viewer's opinion, that's just what Donald P. Belisario,
Deborah Pratt, Joe Napolitano, Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell, the guest
stars, the crew and everyone who had a part in the making of
'Black On White On Fire' did.
They carefully blended just the right amount of the necessary elements
to create "Black On White On Fire" so as to give us one small taste,
presented it to us, the viewers, to consider that taste, leaving each
one to decide for himself or herself about the flavor.
In my humble opinion, that's what the cast and crew of Quantum Leap did
with 'Black On White On Fire'. When they found just the right blending
and balance, they knew when to stop and did. And it worked. And even
after watching it numerous times, it still works.
