In the heyday of the American freak show, some exhibitors tried to pass off certain acts as “educational,” because the people exhibited were from exotic, far-off lands. The educational content was virtually nil, however, as those exhibited were rarely what they were promoted as being. Such is the story of the man known as Clico, the Wild Dancing Bushman. Read about him in an article I posted at mental_floss.
