Minstrelsy to Modern Day: How Black people are portrayed in media.

A breakdown and look into how Black people are portrayed in novels, film, and TV.

Why is blackface still so prevalent in the 21st century and how did American chattel slavery lay the foundation for it to occur?

Where did the term Uncle Tom come from and why does it make you a sellout?

What do Disney, Warner Brothers, and many other production companies have to do with this conversation?

All of these questions and more are answered in this video.
