This essay is an analysis of the article American Popular Music by Wesley Morris. For the first 2 pages of the essay summarize the article. The following pages should explain the essay in the following regards: why I agree with the author about their ideas in the first page (that stealing black music adds to the racial rift), how blackface has evolved over the years and what they symbolized in each era and how these different ideas of blackface are different from the original distaste for black people and their culture when the slaves began arriving in America in 1619, and how black performers have been left behind as white performers continue to use black music styles to gain popularity. At the end of every point, connect the idea back to the year 1619 when the first African slaves were brought to America. the last few points should talk about what is wrong with the article. one point is how the article doesn't mention the year 1619 very much.
