Episode 51: History of Black Theatre Part 2 - The African Grove Theatre, Master Juba and ... sigh ... Minstrel Shows - a podcast by K and Warren

K continues the discussion of the history of black theatre by covering a dark period of theatre history - minstrel shows, before going into some theatrical firsts for Black Americans. Learn about William Henry Lane (also known as Master Juba), a black man who got his start in minstrel shows before ultimately becoming the father of tap dance and find out about the African Grove Theatre: the first Black run theatre in America.
