Title
Article "Music and Laughs By College Fun-Makers"
Subject
Description
This article announces a performance put on by Richmond College students to benefit The Collegian. The article notes that the first part of the performance is a blackface minstrel show performed by men in Richmond College. Minstrel shows were either dances, comic skits, or musical shows performed by white people in blackface. Minstrel shows are performances based off of racial stereotypes which shows what race relations were like during the time period. The title of the article suggest that the performance will make the audience laugh at the jokes made in the show and therefore at the cost of African Americans. In addition to the title, the casual, sarcastic tone of the article downplays the act of performing racial stereotypes.
