#blackface #racism #MinstrelShow A recreation of the Jump Jim Crow refrain; ("Wheel about and turn about and do just so, every time I wheel about I Jump Jim Crow") the way it was performed by Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice (1808-60). This clip is so short I repeated it three times so you can get a good look. This is the only clip I've ever found that shows a performer singing and dancing the actual tune. This clip is from a Vitaphone musical featurette called "Minstrel Days" (1941) that Warner Brothers usually deletes whenever it appears on YouTube. It is currently here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flJCWUdz-SE The guy portraying "Daddy" Rice in this particular film is Billy Wayne (1897–1970). He made a career out of playing bit and uncredited parts and worked steadily from 1931-1959.
