BanjoRay	Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris (264* d)	RE: Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris	28 Aug 16
Didn't the word "morris" come from "Moorish?". I doubt if there are many racist morris dancers, but I suspect there may have been some racism in it's origins....... I do know that the banjo is only just coming back into use among a few african americans after many years of repugnance from it's association with black faced white minstrels. Ray (who knows very little about morris, apart from enjoying watching it over the years)
