You know, you could interpret Disney's refusal to distribute Song Of The South at all as an erasure of a moment in Black History: The first film to get a Black actor (James Baskett, who portrayed Uncle Remus) an Oscar Award.

Especially since, y'know, the controversy was fabricated primarily by Walter Francis White, then-head of the NAACP, who never saw the film for himself and erroneously claimed that it took place before the Civil War despite the film clearly taking place after it's resolution in a post-slavery America.
