What's left behind the scenes
- Monk, as portrayed by Jeffrey Wright, is examining a photograph of the so-called “doll test” (a series of experiments conducted by psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark to study the impact of segregation on African American children). This photograph was once used in legal proceedings (the case of *Brown v. Board of Education*), which put an end to segregation in schools. The photograph was taken by Gordon Parks, one of the most celebrated photographers of the 20th century and one of the first Black photojournalists hired by predominantly “white” publications such as Life Magazine and Glamour.
- Monk's pseudonym – Stagg R. Lee – is a reference to a folk song from the early 20th century performed by many singers. The song's plot is based on real events. It concerns the murder committed in 1895 by a man named Lee Shelton, a pimp from St. Louis nicknamed “Stagg” (or “Stack-O-Lee,” or “Stagger Lee”). The song was very popular, which led to a stereotype about the masculinity of Black men and their propensity for crime.
- After finishing filming on the sixth season of the melodrama *This Is Us*, Sterling K. Brown (who played Clifford) was looking for an opportunity to play someone who was the complete opposite of the noble character he had embodied on screen in the television series. Brown immediately agreed to work with Cord Jefferson and even stated that the film's script (Jefferson was one of the authors) was the best he had ever read.
