SITBB Vault: What Dr. King had in Mind
| One of my favorite Photo Essays from this blog! Since I originally posted this pic, my girls' doll and stuffed creature collection has grown at least five-fold. The most exciting (for me) additions have been their Addy dolls. I intend to blog soon about this character from the American Girl historical line, as well as about my daughters' fascination with the Addy chapter book and their recent interest in learning about slavery. In the meantime, check out this Anti-Racist Parent post about schoolchildren and MLK Day. And please go here to see a video and read the text of Dr. King's original "I Have a Dream" Speech.

...Black Barbie and Dora the Explora sitting down together at the table of sisterhood...Winnie the Pooh and Care Bear joining hands with the Cat in the Hat and Tigger...all the children's toys--gophers and wolves, big bears and small bears, Disney characters and PBS Television characters singing in the words of the old Romper Room classic:
The more we get together
Together
Together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
