Lovingly inscribed by the author. "Darktown Strutters is the story of Jim Crow, a remarkable dancer, born in slavery, who performs in minstrel shows, South and North, during the furious times of pre- and post- Civil War America. His experiences onstage and off, are a mix of applause with mob violence, of love and loss, played against the grim laughter of a black nation within a nation finding its way to an ever-elusive promised freedom." -- Publisher. ¶ Name removed from photo for privacy.
