Can you rephrase this In the images included in “Black Culture Goes National (1925-1940)” we see examples of African American culture becoming more accepted and more influential. These illustrations show both African Americans and whites, which was a very uncommon sight during that time. The absence of racism in these pictures is important because in the past African Americans were usually degraded and portrayed negatively

The first image titled, “The Famous Cotton Club presents Dan Healy’s Cotton Club on Parade with Cab Calloway and his famous Cotton Club Orchestra,” has two parts. One showing a play with African Americans and whites, while the other side shows an African American host leading a group of whites into the show. This illustrates African American culture being embraced and accepted by both groups. The second and third images, titled “Group portrait of beauty contestants, possibly sponsored by the Inter-state Tattler magazine, at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem,” and “Maude Russel and her Ebony Steppers." are very similar. They both show a diverse mix of African Americans and white in a public cultural setting. Although some of the white women look uncomfortable in the second image, the fact that they are there, and the pictures were published indicated a growing acceptance of African American Culture

Lastly, the image titled “The case of Philip Lawrence” is significant because it is set in Lafayette, a region known for racism in the South.
