Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Godfrey coined 'regular black' to describe working-class African Americans excluded from media's narrow Black representation—a term that predated similar discourse by years.
The Chicago venue was chosen specifically because Godfrey was banned from multiple clubs early in his career for 'going too far' with crowd work.
