A minstrel show is a type of entertainment from the 19th and early 20th centuries that featured performers, often dressed in exaggerated costumes, presenting a variety of acts like music, comedy, and skits. These shows were known for their use of blackface makeup and racial stereotypes, which are now recognized as offensive.
