My library has a gorgeous new edition of Little Black Sambo. Not the old golliwog illustrations.

Glad to see that the book has survived in a new form. The illustrations are beautiful. I was read Brer Rabbit and other old tales like, Little Black Sambo, and they didn't turn me into a evil racist. Brer Rabbit actually taught me a lot about human nature. I understood Bill Clinton, when I thought of him as a incarnation of the sneaky and immoral Brer Rabbit.
