Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vegas's Strip was literally built during segregation; Black performers drew crowds but couldn't book rooms, eat in restaurants, or swim in pools at their own venues.
The special's 41-minute runtime mirrors classic TV variety specials, a format many featured performers dominated decades ago.
