The Story of the Little Black Sambo
In the video that we watched in class about racism, there was a child's story book mentioned and I actually recognized it. I'm not 100% positive which book it was, because there might be different versions of it. But when I was little, I actually read that book! Crazy! Here's a link to it http://www.sterlingtimes.co.uk/sambo.htm. It's called The Story of the LIttle Black Sambo, I remember it and thought how strange it was that even when I was a kid there was still racist type propaganda even though racism wasn't nearly as prominent as in the early 1900's.
It's a really weird story, go ahead and read it.

ALEESHA! I've read it too. Oh my gosh.
I totally forgot about this book. I'm glad reading it wasn't damaging to me as a child...man
I would have to say that I have never even hear of this book! lol but that's interesting that there was still racism like that going on in our lifetime.
