Lessons about slavery, segregation, civil rights and black heroes had been drilled into my head since my first social studies class in elementary school way back during the mid 80’s. CRT was still just a nascent thing in university grad departments at the time.

Add to that the overwhelming dominance of black individuals in mass culture and sports at the time (Michael Jackson, Prince, Cosby, Eddy Murphy, Magic Johnson) it was hard for anybody to remain ignorant of the historic narrative of pain and redemption of Blacks in America.
