ICYMI: How Blackface Embedded Itself in American Culture [View all]
Blackface, a dehumanizing caricature of Black Americans, became a staple of entertainment in the 19th century. In her new book, Rhae Lynn Barnes traces the toxic roots of blackface and the way in which it seeped into so many parts of American life. The historian argues that the effects of this derogatory practice are still being felt. Barnes joins the show to discuss her 20 years of research and why this conversation is still so important today.
