The Minstrel Shows I found quite interesting. I am not one who find this kind of music, dance, acting, etc. quite entertaining but recently its sparked my interest as I learn about how all of this influences modern industry. The minstrel shows were found racist as white people would paint their faces black to be like african americans. The writers of the shows said that the dances were authentically black and once the white actors moved onto Vaudeville, the African-Americans filled in the shows.
