Black Star News: "Offensive Scottsboro Boys Should Fail At TONY- Competition is tough this week, thankfully, so “Scottsboro Boys” has little hope of winning any honors. “Scottsboro” does not stand a chance against “Sister Act,” also nominated for musical." http://blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/7432/2011-06-09.html

History of the Minstrel Show: http://black-face.com/minstrel-shows.htm Black-face performers are, "...the filthy scum of white society, who have stolen from us a complexion denied them by nature, in which to make money, and pander to the corrupt taste of their white fellow citizens." -- Frederick Douglass
"Black-face is more than just burnt cork applied as makeup. It is a style of entertainment based on racist Black stereotypes that began in minstrel shows and continues to this day." A History: http://black-face.com/index.htm
"From controversy comes education for those willing to learn." GLM
