Story: Voice from convention center speakers: “Presenting your annual Ebony Ball!”
The planet Earth is in the frame, we see a big signboard on it that reads: “Annual Ebony Ball: Icons, Inventors & Pioneers, Welcome!”.
We see planes, trains and cars heading to this sign. We swiftly zoom into a window of the moving train, to a posh train car.
Madame CJ Walker: “... one sec. I’m getting a call.”
Madame CJ Walker (cont’d): “Hey Whoopie! I’ll see you there is a few hours-"
Whoopie Golderg: “The happy pappy boys are using this year’s convention to exterminate all of us! Madame, you in danger, girl.” A white man with a sly grin outside the window, holding a lit bomb. Prof. Cornel West (cont’d): “...our way ... out ... of this labyrinth of di-sas-ster before those domestic terrorists advance to our prox-i-mi-tyyy.”
