Popular cultural is an important means of understanding any era in history. What people are watching, listening to, reading, making, and doing can tell us a lot about the time and society in which they lived the technology, the social norms, class difference, societal tensions, and more. In class we discussed how black culture started making its way into the mainstream in the 1930s.
