Episode notes
The Black and White Minstrel Show ran for 20 years, at a time in Britain where race relations were growing ever tenser.
How did a show like this manage to run for so long?
Where did minstrelsy come from? (America if you didn't know)
How did the show eventually draw to a close?**
**hint: We can thank Diana Ross!!
