The enduring optimism of Ja'Net DuBois' 'Movin' On Up'
CNN
If ever someone made the notion of the American dream feel within Black America's reach, it was the late actress Ja'Net DuBois.
In addition to her popular role as the spirited neighbor Willona Woods on the hit 1970s sitcom "Good Times," DuBois was known for her work on "The Jeffersons" -- another iconic, Norman Lear-developed series from roughly the same time -- for which she co-wrote and performed "Movin' On Up," the show's theme song that became an anthem for many Black viewers. The series charts the adventures of George (Sherman Hemsley) and Louise (Isabel Sanford) Jefferson, a Black couple in New York City, as they relocate from a working-class area of Queens to majestic Manhattan, thanks to George's flourishing dry-cleaning business.
