This wood burning is reported to be a black Mammy holding a white child wrapped in an American flag from the 19th century and supposedly done in disagreement with the 15th amendment although I don't see the connection. A friend would like to sell this if any interest.

I don't see anything unusual or controversial about it. It's pretty much a picture of me in the arms of Mrs. Bessie when I was a baby in the 50's. She and her husband worked our farm

I guess it's only unusual up north where black folks and white folks don't interact. And they call us racist.
