1.
Stephens, J. "'And Yet They Paused' and A 'Bill to Be Passed': Newly recovered lynching dramas by Georgia Douglas Johnson." African American Review 33 (Fall 1999): 519-522.

Summary: This article seems like a good source as it directly referencing the topic being addressed in Goldsby's work, that being lynching. The content seems to be extremely relevant to someone researching how images of race and ethnicity are constructed in media discourse. It's also relatively recent, less than five years old.

2.
Stephens, JL. "Anti-lynch Plays by African American Women-Race, Gender and Social Protest in American Drama." African American Review 26 (Summer 1992): 329-331.

Summary: This article gives a more direct female perspective on the topic of lynching which may be helpful in gaining more well rounded research. Although it is a few years older, the information is historically based and thus age of the article is not as much an issue.

3.
Coover, GE. "Television and Social Identity: Race Representation as 'White' Accomodation." The Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media 45 (Summer 2001): 413-431.

Summary: A study done on the influence of race representation on white viewers indicates that Black actors and commentators on television are readily accepted. Results mentioned included topics on aversive or enlightened racism and the accomodation of white identity. Considering Gray's work on Black american in TV, this article was an interesting comparison and is very relevant to the topic. It is only a few years old and adds a new perspective to the larger issue.
