from Trey's Table · host Trey Smith

🎙 New Episode on Trey’s Table! In 1946, the NAACP confronted Walt Disney Studios and urged them not to release Song of the South — a film that romanticized plantation life and presented a distorted view of Black history. In this episode, we break down: • The NAACP’s campaign to block the film • How Disney responded behind closed doors • The overlooked story of the Black consultant— and why he walked away • How this battle helped shape the modern fight over representation in Hollywood
