Aaron White and Jason Christophe White of In Tha Cut Productions will present this 1-hour lecture exploring the history and legacy of American minstrelsy. Using actual photos, footage and sound bites from real historical performances, this is a perfect preparation for the performance of The Dance: The History of American Minstrelsy, their play that is scheduled the same day in the Chaffey College Theater from 7-9pm (free). In this atmosphere, students, staff and faculty can feel comfortable to confront this atrocity in our American history together and it will provide a platform for dialogues about critical issues surrounding race.
