Mr. Sneed is a waiter at the Arlington Hotel, which is one of America's most opulent hotels. And the first families would have been like, this is a great look. The papers call him swell.

Yeah, because it's at a really, really, really fancy hotel. Okay. And because at this time, to put on a uniform and work in a hotel, like work for dignitaries and all these things, this is really, really important to them.

Langston Hughes' great uncle, John Mercer Langston, and the Langstons would, of course, be there. Obviously, they have to invite the founder of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, John F. Cook, and the Cooks. The McKinleys, the Cardozos, the Grimkeys, everybody's going to be there.

Mm-hmm, and the school. So then this question arises between the couple. I'm guessing Lulu is the one that asked this question. She says, Mr. Sneed, should we invite Mr. Craigwell to our wedding?
