Who Was the First Minstrel and Other Oddities
Lew Dockstader contends no complete record exists of negro minstrelsy with roots in a half century of American performance. He cites Edwin Forest as possibly first to sing a negro song, and notes early stars like Sol Smith Russell and Barney Williams, plus Jefferson and Booth, as part of the ancestral line. The piece weaves in a church scene with Perpetua and Robert, blending stage lore with a narrative of youthful devotion and transcendent love.
