Abstract
In 1923, the senior class at Kalamazoo College put on the play “Seventeen” by Booth Tarkington. A photograph of the cast on stage shows one actor in blackface, playing the role of Genesis. The character in Tarkington’s play spoke in bastardized English which was a common stereotype perpetuated of Black people.
