Minstrel

While the term Minstrel dates back to medieval times, it is most commonly -- and infamously -- associated with white musicians of the late 19th and early 20th century who performed African-American songs, jokes, and impersonations in blackface makeup for racially-segregated audiences; among the more well-known minstrel performers were Emmett Miller and Honey Wilds.
