Two films with black actors playing key roles serve as departures from the typical stereotyped image of Afro-Americans as mere 'bucks, coons and Toms.' In 'Grand Canyon,' Danny Glover portrays a tow truck operator whose philosophical insights strongly influence the rest of the film's characters. In 'Mississippi Masala,' Denzel Washington tackles the role of a commercial rug cleaner who breaks racial barriers by becoming romantically involved with an East Indian girl.
