Aldridge, Ira [Frederick] (1804?–67), actor. He was often called the first great African‐American actor, although he did virtually none of his performing in the States. Believed to have been born in Africa (although some sources say New York and give the year as late as 1807), he is said to have accepted menial jobs at New York theatres while performing leading roles in
Romeo and Juliet and
Pizarro with a small Negro ensemble. Prejudice and the practice of having Negroes played by whites in blackface denied him opportunities at major theatres. Dissatisfied, he left America permanently in 1826, settling in England but playing across the Continent. Biography:
Ira Aldredge: The Negro Tragedian, Herbert Marshall and M. Stock, 1968.
