Born into a world without electricity or the automobile, George Moran was an early nineteenth-century minstrel performer who donned the blackface along with his partner Charles Mack. The comedy duo went by the moniker "Two Black Crows," two black men who travelled North for industrial work. The characters were germane to the minstrel tradition, men looking for fun in pool halls and taverns.
Moran isn't very well-known outside the Moran and Mack duo, and he should not be confused with Chicago gangster George "Bugs" Moran.
