In American history, minstrel shows were a form of entertainment that featured white performers in blackface. Generally, the performances were disparaging to black people, and the actors conformed to negative stereotypes associated with black Americans. Minstrel shows began in America sometime in the 1830's and continued to be performed in some parts of the U.S. until the 1950's.
