Tyler Perry made history as the first black man to own a major movie studio.
The 330-acre lot used to be a U.S. Army base known as Fort McPherson, which was once a Confederate stronghold during the Civil War.
The resonance of a black man taking ownership of and repurposing land once worked by slaves coursed throughout the evening he officially launched the studio, last month.
Many stars, including Beyonce, said it was an emotional night for Black Hollywood.
"I could feel our ancestors' presence," Beyonce wrote in an emotional Instagram post. "Generations of blood, sweat and tears, success, excellence and brilliance. It makes me so proud, so full, I could not stop crying."
Perry, too, remarked on the symbolism of the evening.
“There’s so much history here. There’s so much amazing culture and richness in the land. It’s everywhere I go, it’s everywhere I walk. Every time I’m around this place. I feel it," he said. "So, I think the biggest challenge is living up to the legacy of what this is, and support it and honor it the way it should be."
