CONTENT WARNING: This material contains an image of a person in Blackface. Blackface is used to refer to the practice of wearing makeup to imitate the appearance of a Black person. The use of such makeup was associated with minstrel shows in the United States from the 1830s until the mid-20th century; it is now regarded as highly offensive.
