Key events are reinterpreted, including the 1940 American Negro Exposition, the emergence of black music and its related culture industry, the establishment of the Associated Negro Press, and Johnson Publishing's founding. The narrative also addresses the significant impact of Emmett Till's 1955 lynching, highlighting its resonance within the community.
