I should resist but I can’t. That baby looks no more than a few months old. No way he or she is two.
About five or six months...but when was it taken? Just because the event was in February 1962, doesn’t mean we know the date of the image, does it? So it would be a mistake to assume we know more than what we see; a white woman holding a mixed race child about five or six months of age, shown in the April issue of ‘Muhammad Speaks’
And that’s the only thing we can really give Trowbridge credit for. She published that image in her ‘When The Bough Breaks’ episode. That allowed us to trace it to the archives, now no longer available...
Careful study upon enlargement seems to show the same dark band across the forehead of the child...as in several other images of both the young and adult zero.
This episode iirc was one in which she showed the name ERIK RUSH in the heading. He had at the time, just recently published his book ‘Negrophilia’ - and the impression I had was that she had possibly benefitted from his research, as an African-American, the archives of Muhammad Speaks would have been in his interest.
