Answer:

C.An uneducated slave, played by a white man in a black face .

Explanation:

Throughout the 1830s and '40s, the white entertainer Thomas Dartmouth Rice (1808-1860) performed a popular song-and-dance act supposedly modeled after a slave. He named the character Jim Crow. Rice darkened his face, acted like a buffoon, and spoke with an exaggerated and distorted imitation of African American Vernacular English. In his Jim Crow persona, he also sang "Negro ditties" such as "Jump Jim Crow." Rice was not the first white comic to perform in blackface, but he was the most popular of his time, touring both the United States and England. As a result of Rice's success, "Jim Crow" became a common stage persona for white comedians' blackface portrayals of African Americans.

I feel greatly and passionate about people who are homeless. The reason I choose this is because they need help from people who are privileged to have money and a job to help them, and it will impact them in a good way. The issues with homelessness would be mostly solved if more shelters were put in place to help. Also people should be more compassionate about others situations. This is why I think homelessness is a big deal, important and fear because you never know what these people are going through
