Excerpted from the website:
- The burnt cork ash smeared on his face and the clownish red lipstick were more rudimentary than today's sophisticated makeup and photographic techniques but the effect was just as crude. When white comedian Thomas Rice turned himself into a black stable-boy called Jim Crow in 1828, he sparked an American craze for blackface and minstrel shows that lasted more than 100 years. From Al Jolson to Bing Crosby, Kate Moss is the latest in a line of white celebrities to turn themselves black.
