The Chitlin' Circuit was a collection of performance venues found throughout the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States. They provided commercial and cultural acceptance for African-American musicians, comedians, and other entertainers following the era of venues run by the "white-owned-and-operated Theatre Owners Booking Association (TOBA)...formed in 1921."[1] The Chitlin Circuit sustained black musicians and dancers during the era of racial segregation in the United States from the 1930s through the '60s.[2][1]
