Diahann Carroll said in interview that the show ended when she asked to be let out of her television contract, having grown tired of the controversy surrounding the show from its inception.
I can't believe some of the vapid comments about this wonderfully gentle and sweet ground-breaking show! I remember watching Julia when I was young and being very impressed by its cast and storyline; they were both very creative. Why do you make fun of it because it wasn't about angry, bitter black people with chips on their shoulders, but about a young black mother who was a nurse and her little son trying to live upbeat, positive, fulfilling lives while the male head of the family was serving his country in Vietnam. This was a landmark show for America and deserves more respect! This show was like a Serenity Prayer for race relations! Not all "progress" is made by angry, bitter, or violent people protesting in the marketplace. Real progress is often made one by one by individuals who can see past the divides to reach out on a daily basis to people of different races and religions, with a sense of goodwill and humility. So it was with Julia. You catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar and I'm sure this show did more to increase understanding among whites for the everyday concerns of black folk than all the Jesse Jacksons and Malcolm X's in the world!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other people with similar names, see Julia (women of Julii Caesares) .
Julia (104 – after 39 BC) was the mother of the triumvir general Mark Antony .
She was the daughter of Lucius Julius Caesar (the consul of 90 BC) and Fulvia. She and her brother Lucius Julius Caesar (who was consul in 64 BC) were born and raised in Rome.
Julia was a third-cousin of Julius Caesar (their great-great-grandparents Gaius and Sextus Julius Caesar were siblings).
Julia married Marcus Antonius Creticus , a man of a senatorial family. Their sons were the triumvir Mark Antony , Gaius Antonius and Lucius Antonius . Because of their kinship through her, Gaius Julius Caesar was obliged to promote the political careers of her sons, [ citation needed ] despite his distaste for their father and his generally low opinion of their abilities. After Julia's first husband died in 74 BC, she married Publius Cornelius Lentulus Sura , a politician who in 63 BC was involved in the Catilinarian conspiracy and was executed on the orders of Cicero .
Julia had raised her sons through her marriages. Plutarch describes her as one of "most nobly born and admirable women of her time". [1] The following clause from Plutarch describes her relationship with her first husband:
His father was Antony, surnamed of Crete, not very famous or distinguished in public life, but a worthy good man, and particularly remarkable for his liberality, as may appear from a single example. He was not very rich, and was for that reason checked in the exercise of his good nature by his wife. A friend that stood in need of money came to borrow of him. Money he had none, but he bade a servant bring him water in a silver basin, with which, when it was brought, he wetted his face, as if he meant to shave, and, sending away the servant upon another errand, gave his friend the basin, desiring him to turn it to his purpose. And when there was afterwards a great inquiry for it in the house, and his wife was in a very ill humour, and was going to put the servants one by one to the search, he acknowledged what he had done, and begged her pardon.
Elsewhere Plutarch illustrates her character with an episode from the proscription of 43 BC, during the Second Triumvirate :
His uncle, Lucius Caesar, being closely pursued, took refuge with his sister, who, when the murderers had broken into her house and were pressing into her chamber, met them at the door, and spreading out hands, cried out several times. "You shall not kill Lucius Caesar till you first dispatch me who gave your general his birth!" and in this manner she succeeded in getting her brother out of the way, and saving his life.
During the Perusine War (modern Perugia ) between 41 BC-40 BC, Julia left Rome, although Octavian (future Roman Emperor Augustus ) treated her with kindness. She never trusted Sextus Pompeius . When Sextus Pompeius was in Sicily , Julia had sent to Greece for Antony, a distinguished escort and convoy of triremes . After the reconciliation of the triumvirs, Julia returned with Antony to Italy in 39 BC and was probably present at the meeting with Sextus Pompeius at Misenum .
Sitting in the back seat of my Uber on the way to JFK airport this afternoon…
We are stopped at a red light when a
car behind us honks. A car beside us honks twice in response. Another car honks, then
another and another. We are surrounded by a frenzy of honking cars but the
reason for the honking is not clear to me, nor to my driver, as evidenced by the fact that we are both swiveling our
heads around from side to side and front to back, trying to find the cause of the
honking.
Honking for no reason? Seriously? I imagine sticking my head out the window and yelling at
everyone above all the honking to “STOP HONKING!!!!!!!!”
Instead, I keep all of my body inside the car and make eye contact with my
driver through her rear-view mirror, giving her a very exaggerated and knowing, “Geeze,
what is wrong with these people, am I right?” kind of look…
She smiles back at my agitated face, shrugs her right shoulder slightly and says to me calmly, “Most of them are
just nervous.”
"Oh..." I reply, surprised and a little humbled that she didn't just jump on my outrage bandwagon. I quickly add, “Yeah, good point...That’s a very wise way of thinking about it.”
The light turns green. My driver
proceeds with the route, while I proceed to process the wisdom she just dropped on me – wisdom that was way less about how to navigate the literal
“honkers” on the streets of New York City, and much more about
how to navigate the metaphorical “honkers” on every single road of
life.
For reasons that may not be clear to me, nor do they need to be, t he honkers are nervous.
And uncomfortable - because nervous is usually pretty uncomfortable.
So the nervous get noisy, and start honking. Because for a moment honking
makes us feel tough. And feeling tough, even for a moment, can sometimes feel better than admitting we feel nervous.
But what I was reminded of in the back seat of my Uber on my way to JFK, is that the next time I'm surrounded by honking, I have to remember that the honking is about the honkers, it has nothing to do with
me. The nervous honkers do not need a honk from me in response to their honking. They sure as
heck don’t need TWO. That won’t solve any problems. It definitely won’t stop the honking.
And the next time it is me who is the
one getting noisy and doing the honking, because I am the one who is nervous, and my nervousness has temporarily confused me and caused me to think I need to be tough, I can only
hope that instead of receiving honking in response, I’ll be lucky enough to be
in the presence of someone who understands honking, like my Uber driver today, who can calmly smile at me over all the noise I'm making and say, “I hear you sweetie. I hear
you getting loud. I know it's because something has you nervous and it's okay. We all get nervous
sometimes. It’s okay.”

Julia , (born 39 bc —died ad 14, Rhegium [present-day Reggio di Calabria , Italy]), the Roman emperor Augustus ’ only child, whose scandalous behaviour eventually caused him to exile her.
Julia’s mother was Scribonia, who was divorced by Augustus when the child was a few days old. Julia was brought up strictly, her every word and action being watched. After a brief marriage to Marcus Marcellus , who died in 23 bc , Julia wedded Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa , Augustus’ chief lieutenant, in 21 bc . Their two eldest sons were adopted by Augustus in 17 bc and given the names Gaius and Lucius Caesar. Julia had a third son, Agrippa Postumus, and two daughters, Julia and Vipsania (later known as Agrippina the Elder ).
With Agrippa’s death in 12 bc , Augustus’ wife, Livia, was able to convince him to favour her own sons by a former marriage, Tiberius and Drusus, as possible successors; Augustus forced Tiberius to divorce his wife and marry Julia in 11 bc . It was an unwanted and unhappy marriage for both of them. After an infant son by Julia perished in 6 bc , Tiberius went into voluntary exile, leaving Julia in Rome . Julia was accused of leading a promiscuous life, her adulteries becoming common knowledge in Rome. An affair with Mark Antony’s son Jullus Antonius was politically dangerous.
Finally Augustus discovered how Julia was behaving. After threatening her with death, he banished her to Pandataria, an island off the coast of Campania , in 2 bc . In ad 4 she was moved to Rhegium. Upon becoming emperor, Tiberius withheld her allowance, and Julia eventually died of malnutrition .
Julia’s faithlessness is not in question, but, according to the 5th-century- ad Roman author Macrobius ( Saturnalia ), she was a witty and intelligent woman and was loved by the people. Augustus showed her no mercy, however, calling her a “disease in my flesh.”
