Uncle Junior Project
United States
“It’s about moving past the limited vision that society has for you, and stepping into the talent and skill you know you have.”
The Uncle Junior Project is a community-driven digital exhibit celebrating the history of Black people in the American circus. It honors the achievements of the many extraordinary individuals and groups in the African-American circus community, including clowns.
We at Play the Fool suggest you start with the documentaries about the extraordinary clowns Danise Payne and Onionhead.
Don’t forget to sign up for their free membership, donate directly, and check out the exhibit store.
