Not to hijack the thread but, there was a restaurant near me in the 70’s called Sambo’s. It was in a black area and they had the characture “Sambo” on the menu. It was the only restaurant I have been to where you had to pay before they would give you any food.
Sorry to go off topic.

It was named after founders SAM Battistone and Newell BOhnett...though they did use the “Little Black Sambo” stories in some way. Only Sambo was really an Indian.

A chain, which rebranded some locations as Laughing Tiger or something, now mostly gone
