In the new four-part E! series Black Pop: Celebrating the Power of Black Culture, the contributions of Black Americans in television, movies, sports, and film are documented.
In the trailer, singer, songwriter and actress Gabriella Wilson, who records as H.E.R., says "Black culture, it starts a trend and everybody else thinks it's cool."
Blair Underwood and Nina Parker share how they view their lives and accomplishments through the lens of the impact they and others have made.
"After everything we've been through as a culture, we're still here, still standing still strong," says Underwood. "That's a lot to be joyful for."
