Credit: Courtesy / Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History A century-old automobile owned by a San Antonio man who worked to organize Black railroad porters and fight discrimination is bound for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Which brings us to “Black Adam,” a dull, listless superhero movie that hits all the expected touchstones of the genre under the guise of a transgressive new antihero story.

We then skip forward 5,000 years to modern-day Kahndaq, a poor yet futuristic country that, for generations, has been under siege by various mercenary groups., by the descendants of Delbert and Dottie McKinney, the car’s original owners. It, too, was tracking at around $175 million before release.   The car, which has been stored at their son’s former home on the far East Side for decades, has been transported to a shop in Pennsylvania for restoration and much-needed repairs.

Afflicted by the all-too-common Overstuffed Hero Movie Syndrome, “Black Adam,” directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, flies past exposition and speeds through character introductions and back stories — for those who even get back stories — leaving us with a hero epic that fails to build emotional stakes or vivify its characters enough to make us care. The family heirloom is a valuable symbol of a point in time in U.S.” (Because he’s Black Adam, get it?) And if you thought the time of action movies using slow-motion as a crutch was over, “Black Adam” has bad news for you. Even if it doesn’t soar to Spider-Man: No Way Home -level grosses ($260 million) on its Fri-Sun debut, even if it opens closer to Thor: Love and Thunder Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($187 million), Disney has been there before.

history and in auto manufacturing.  But the Model B represented something deeper to the family that inherited it, said Courtney McKinney, great-granddaughter of the original owner. It doesn’t help that our antihero is as exciting as, well, a flying rock in a cape. Even without yet knowing much of the owners’ history, she felt the car should be preserved for future generations.

  “A lot of people would have gotten rid of this car by now, just by necessity,” McKinney said. He, and the film, can capture neither the seriousness nor the humor it aspires to; Johnson attempts to cover up his signature lighthearted comedic delivery with a stony deadpan that sucks all levity from each scene he’s in.

But the large four-cylinder, two-door sedan had become a fixture in the family, having been for many years maintained by Delbert McKinney’s son Alonzo and stored by other family members when Alonzo’s military service took him to Korea and Vietnam.   That shared commitment elevated its worth to the close-knit family, said McKinney, a California resident whose aunt and cousin still live in San Antonio.

Adam’s comedic beats, on the other hand, are limited to his lugheaded responses to the other characters’ coaching on proper hero etiquette (“Catchphrase, then kill,” he repeats densely after Amon). “It was always a family affair, and they knew how much it meant to my grandpa [Alonzo] and so that’s how we were able to keep it,” she said.

A history uncovered  Now 32, McKinney was 13 years old the last time her grandfather took her for a ride in the car. Heroes like Superman and Aquaman are out being saviors, but they have conveniently overlooked Kahndaq, Amon says to Adam, suggesting that even the world’s finest do-gooders can be selective and unfair when it comes to fighting evil.

Her sentimental attachment to the car only grew when she learned from Smithsonian curators that her great-grandfather, who died in 1956, played a pivotal role in the Black labor movement of the 1920s and ‘30s, she said. McKinney was one of over 20,000 Black men working as Pullman porters and train workers during the railroad’s heydays in the 1920s, according to the National A. “The world doesn’t need a white knight; sometimes it needs something darker,” Doctor Fate says, presenting the film’s thesis — which, by the way, was more eloquently expressed 14 years ago in If, as the credits roll for “Black Adam,” you’re still stuck wondering what defines a bad hero or a good antihero, know that at least the film clarifies one thing: What makes a bad hero movie.

The pay averaged about $17 a week, plus tips meant to augment the meager salary of a job that involved loading luggage and parcels and helping passengers. However, the porters spent most of that tip money on required uniforms and shoe polish, according to Virginia Commonwealth University’s Social Welfare History Project.

“It was a pie-in-the-sky thing,” she said of writing a letter to the museum late last year offering to donate the car.  “I saw the Smithsonian had a [Negro Motorist] Green Book exhibit where they were talking about the Green books that allowed African Americans to travel through the United States and go through friendly towns, and I thought, this is really relevant,” McKinney said. When the museum’s curator responded with interest, the family was quick to agree to turn over the keys, she said. It’s what her great-grandparents would have wanted — returning the car to the service of the country.

The original Ford Model B had a short production run in the early 1930s. Only about 5,000 of the cars were made before the company transitioned to the Ford V-8 and other models in the early years of the Great Depression.

The car would have sold for less than $500. McKinney’s great-grandfather used the car for joyrides, according to family lore, which was funny to her because the car’s speed topped out at about 40 mph.  “But they would take it around and he just had so much pride getting the whole family in the car, riding around the neighborhood, and saying hi to people every Sunday,” she said.  Delbert McKinney’s pride was well-placed.  “The car was one of few owned by a Black family during the Great Depression and illuminates automobile history at a time when travel was segregated and even dangerous for Black Americans,” said Kathleen Franz, a San Antonio native and chairwoman of the Smithsonian history museum’s Work and Industry Division and the collecting curator.   After the porters unionized, McKinney served in leadership positions with the Brotherhood of Pullman Car Porters, and his wife served as a secretary for the Brotherhood Local No.
