It's a shame that "Find Our Missing" (10 tonight, TV One) exists because it points to a well-known disparity in my profession.

That disparity is in the coverage of missing persons; overwhelmingly white women get more attention on national broadcasts (think Natalee Holloway); the phenomenon is so prevalent it been proclaimed "missing white woman syndrome."

Despite the acknowledgement of this divide, not much has changed. "Finding Our Missing" steps into the breach with a 10-episode one-hour series that features African-Americans who have disappeared, and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.
