That's so Raven & Black History

It is Disney Channel's longest-running live-action series, having been on for four years and airing 100 episodes throughout 4 seasons. It was also Disney Channel's first series to break the 65-episode mark, and the highest-rated series to air on Disney Channel during its entire run. In 2005 and 2007, the series was nominated for an Emmy Award for outstanding children's programming.
On Feb. 11th, 2005 the Black History Celebration episode "True Colors" premeired. In this episode Raven (Black) and Chelsea (White) apply for jobs at an upscale clothing store, but -- despite her obvious skills, and Chelsea's incompetence -- Chelsea is the one chosen. However, when Raven has a vision indicating that the manager (Devon Odessa) is a racist and this was the only reason she didn't get the job, she goes undercover for a TV news report (with Chelsea and Eddie's help) to expose the truth. Meanwhile, Cory (Raven's TV brother) has to write an essay on Black History Month.
