Wilson

Creator
Heyn, George (photographer)
Description
Portrait
of
actor
George
W
.
Wilson
in
blackface
. He
wears
the
collar
of his
shirt
up
, and
rests
his
chin
on his
left
hand
. This
image
depicts
African
Americans
in a
stereotyped
fashion
that
may
be
offensive
to
many
viewers
; the
University
of
Louisville
does
not
endorse
the
content
of, or
expression
carried
by, these
images
.
However
, these
images
do
present
the
attitudes
and
assumptions
of
some
people
of the
period
in
which
they were
produced
. The
cultural
record
would be
incomplete
--
and
we
would not be
honest
with
ourselves
and
our
past
--
if these
images
were
omitted
.
