Unfolding the Stories of Childhood,
Race, and Rural Life in North Carolina.
In the 1930s Tobe, a six-year-old African American J
boy asked a question of his white school teacher. J
"Why does no one in my books look like me?" I
From that question emerged Tobe: A Six-Year-Old I
Farmer, the first children's book to use photographs f
to depict daily life for African Americans in rural f
North Carolina. m
In 2008 Dr. Benjamin Filene set out to interview people in those
photographs, students of the author, and anyone from the communities the book documents.
What he discovered were heart-warming stories of family and community that provide lessons for us all.
Join us for this Road Scholars presentation sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council.
