Her Mom probably didn’t know how to spell Mahogany.
Mahogany is a type of wood often used for furniture.
It’s a reddish-brown tone.
Mahogany was also the name of a movie from 1975, starring
Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. It was a Soap Opera type confection. Still, the movie was a big deal with those who were fans of Diana or The Supremes.
This woman, Mahagany Teague, was apparently born a poor white child and nobody told her she was black.
Society “fixed” the glitch.

I wondered what happened to Nina Simone.
