minstrel show at Aberdeen High School

This is an advertisement that appeared in a local newspaper for a minstrel show. The show took place at Aberdeen High School in April 1960, just a few weeks before the final decision in the Pettit case. The ad depicts the racist culture that persisted in Harford County (and Aberdeen) simultaneous to the Pettit case, as the civil rights movement wrought change.
