NEWS of the Weird reported
in 1996 and 1997 on people
who still fail to understand the
social offensiveness of dressing
white people in blackface. In
January 1999, teachers at Yale

the unwillingness of the
school’s only four black stu-
dents to join the cast, decided
to select four white students for
the black chorus and to paint
them in blackface. The play
opened in February, in the
middle of Black History
Month.
