Whiteface, Blackface, Authenticity?

No documents yet provided by any government entity on the May 10, 2014 Blackface performance county tax dollars funded.

Our tourists say they miss "authenticity."

What has the 450th provided:

A no-bid, error-ridden, dumbed-down "Journey" film on African-Ameerican history made by white cronies, with no effort to recruit minority filmmakers.

A Blackface depiction of former FSDB student Ray Charles (see below).

Our all-white County tourism and City 450th staff are not promoting African-American tourism here in St. Augustine.

They'd rather fly the pirate flag and show fawning obeisance to the likes of DAVID BARTON CORNEAL, PAT CROCE and the friends of ex-Mayors JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. and CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR.

What "authenticity?"
