About Bert Williams
Bert Williams was a pioneering African-American vaudeville performer, comedian, and recording artist. He rose to fame in the early 20th century as one of the few black entertainers to achieve widespread success in the era of racial segregation. Williams became known for his comedic talents and ability to subvert stereotypes through humor. He often performed in blackface, a common practice at the time, but used his performances to critically comment on racism and social issues.
