How Blackface Embedded Itself in American Culture

Season 2026 Episode 8156 | 18m 29s

Blackface, a dehumanizing caricature of Black Americans, became a staple of entertainment in the 19th century. Rhae Lynn Barnes traces the toxic roots of blackface and the way in which it seeped into so many parts of American life. She argues that the effects of this derogatory practice are still being felt. Barnes discusses her 20 years of research and why this conversation is still so important.
