Audience Member Could Face Jail Time For Booing ‘Mammy’ Dance

When a children’s dance company in northern Virginia did a skit called “Little Rabbit, Where’s Your Mammy?,” Jackie Carter, angered by the hoary old stereotype, began to boo. She returned the next evening, passed out fliers and made enough noise to disrupt the performance – whereupon she was arrested for disorderly conduct, a charge which carries up to one year in prison.
