Black America, 1895 – The Public Domain Review
Black America, 1895 – The Public Domain Review
Public understandings of the past are as much a product of entertainment as they are of education or the work of historians. Just like Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show created a false mythologized depiction of Native Americans and the west, the Black America extravaganzas in the early 20th century taught white Americans that slavery wasn't so bad after all. Late 20th century complaints that education is changing history, may be a result of these falsehoods
Black America has escaped popular memory perhaps due both to its smaller production run and inability to create lasting dramatic storylines. Wild West shows helped establish the classic settler colonial drama of “cowboys versus Indians”, but Black America presented something somewhat different — plantations without White antagonists, racial uplift without a whisper of who was keeping the race down to begin with.
