Rhae Lynn Barnes: Blackface and the American Way of Entertainment
Rhae Lynn Barnes: Blackface and the American Way of Entertainment
I will be discussing my new book, Darkology: Blackface and the American Way of Entertainment, which was recently featured on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
For this event, I will tailor my talk to focus on Burlington's history. We will delve into the legacy of the "Kake Walk" and highlight the interracial and interfaith local Civil Rights Movement and Black Power efforts that ultimately mobilized to overturn it. Whether you are a long-time resident, a student, or part of a local organization, this is a vital piece of our community's history, and I would love nothing more than to share this space and conversation with you.
