Traditionally show business was one of the only ways an African American could circumvent the worst of racism and embark on the same kind of self-reinvention that Millie is attempting -- and, in 1922, there were limited avenues for that trajectory available to African-Americans. That said, from a narrative perspective, the story can be told no matter what the race of the actress playing Muzzy. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525093196524_72710"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525093196524_72711"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525093196524_72712"></div></div></body></html>
