Does anyone know the story behind the picture at the top of this page?
This link seems to have more info, of unknown veracity. Apparently the white girl is also an emancipated slave child.
Thanks. That link helped. Googling is easier now.
Oh yeah, didn’t abolitionists show pictures of little white girls who were technically black under the one drop rule, so people would think, “Slavery could affect cute white girls–oh no!”
