An epitaph read backward in time -- As his name is, so is he -- Ladies and gentlemen: your attention please! Would you welcome the first American entertainer, Sambo!! -- And performing today at balls, circuses, theatres, picnics, churches, schools, and prisons- the indomitable, spirited, laughing- Jim Crow, esquire! -- Impressions in boldface -- Prismatic projections -- The camera eye -- The radio ear: the odd-couples connection -- The fool as an emancipator
Traces the history of comic stereotype of the Black performer and explains how it was finally eradicated
