Because its an interesting look at history. Stop assuming ulterior motives. I mean if you don't find it interesting, thats you. Personally, I find it interesting to not only know blackface existed but to put well-known names to the practice and observe it in that context. Not that people weren't completely aware but there could be some people who aren't aware of how prolific the practice was. Secondly, its one thing to know it existed but it helps to put recognizable faces behind the practice.

The images should be kept alive to remember. This is like jews saying don't talk about the holocaust or show pictures because you're keeping Nazi's images alive. You can look at history for the good and the bad to have a better understanding of it.

People talk about not wanting to be reminded of slavery, but if young start forgetting about it white people will pounce on the narrative and change what actually happened.

This. Keep this thread open, OP, maybe somebody in here can glean some valuable knowledge of the more unspoken parts of our history.
