Historic artifact. The Sparks piece about minstrelsy made me think of Stepin Fetchit, sort of the opposite of Zip Coon. Real name Lincoln Perry, Stepin Fetchit was the first black Hollywood actor millionaire, making his career playing the same lazy, dimwitted character. Some critics have recently argued that he was more of a trickster figure and shouldn’t be read as a straight stereotype. I personally find it hard to watch.

Lincoln Perry (May 30,1902-November 19, 1988) also known by the stage name Stepin Fetchit, was an American comedian and film actor, who had his greatest fame throughout the 1930s. Perry had a very successful film career, eventually becoming a millionaire (the first black actor in history to do so). He was also the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film. #blackhistorymonth #blacklivesmatter #howwillyouberemembered #stepinfetchit #fetchit #actor #comedian #lincolnperry #uncg
