Nathan talks with historian Rhae Lynn Barnes about Virginia
Governor Ralph Northam’s 1984 yearbook page and its link to a
long and disturbing history of blackface minstrelsy. They discuss
how white civic organizations used minstrel shows for

minstrel character, and what must happen to prevent people from
donning blackface going forward. THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SOME
