HOWEVER.......this was in the 60’s. They were not a poor family. There are plenty of photos of Stanley Anne as a child, with her parents and photos of her parents when they were young. Stanley was an only child. Barry was their first grandchild(supposedly) and Stanley Anne’s first child(supposedly) yet not a single photo of her or the grandparents with new born Barry. NONE! The first photo of (supposedly) baby Barry is one where he is several months old and he is the only one in the photo.

You don’t find this interesting?

No, because I think Madelyn Dunham was utterly ashamed of the fact that she had a Black Grandchild. Madelyn Dunham was from Kansas, and from my Reading of Frank Marshall Davis' book "livin' the blues" they were pretty prejudice in Kansas during the 1920s, and I can only assume it continued during the time Madelyn Dunham was growing up. Apart from that, the Family lived in Oklahoma and Texas before moving to Washington. I think most of Madelyn Duham's life she was exposed to a culture that was very prejudiced against blacks, and where miscegenation was a Felony Crime. (Not Kansas, but it was in Oklahoma and Texas. See Map at link.)

I think it took her a long time to come to terms with the fact that her Grandson was black. That it caused immediate strife in the Dunham household is evident by the fact that Stanley Ann left and didn't come back until a year after Barry was born. Also, see my previous message with the link that shows Madelyn Dunham's coworkers didn't even know she had a grandson until they found out about it on television. This is NOT the behavior of a proud grandmother.

I think Madelyn Dunham was VERY ashamed of Barry, and so therefore there are no fawning pictures of him until later, and the one of him on the tricycle was probably taken by Stanley Ann.

Maybe they didn’t know because there was no grandson. Maybe it was her husband’s son but not hers. Concrete information is so scare that I find circumstantial evidence is probably more close to the truth, but that’s just my opinion

Why would you assume the picture of him on the trike was taken by Stanley Anne. That picture could be of any little black kid and even if it was him, it could have been taken but a friend of Stanley’s, Gramps, or even FMD for all we know.

I trust nothing about them...NOTHING... too many inconsistencies and things that defy logic. I don’t think there is a single thing that could come out that would shock me.

First. Stop posting lies.

Second. No one is interested in what you "think".

Third. Document your comments with links to back up your information, or get off this site.
