Gen'l Stonewall Bunker Hill - Gold Side Character Sketch
Date
1943
Creator
Gold Side
Description
This costume sketch comes from the dramatization “Lay Down dat Chicken Boy” by the gold side in 1943. The name of this character comes from both General Stonewall Jackson and the Battle of Bunker Hill. This character reflects the influence of minstrel shows and prevailing racial stereotypes among white Alabamians.
College Night is the Homecoming tradition of the University of Montevallo. It began in 1919 as a competition between the classes. It evolved into two sides represented by the school colors, purple and gold. In the early years of the competition each side would put together a stunt which was a short comedy, a dramatization, a slow song, and a pep song.
