Did you know that Disney will not re-release Uncle Remus? I don't know about the books but I have an old one. Just thought I'd share. :-)

Remember Little Black Sambo? It's now called The Boy and The Tigers. And his name's not Sambo it's Rajani. That book was written in 1899 and is banned. I agree that we've lost a lot.
