SPIDER-MAN BEEN BLACK — The MICHEAUX MISSION
There was one detail that does stick out, however. My mother did not play with the images her kids were exposed to. All the art in our house had black people in them. Our books had to feature Black characters or, at the very least, anthropomorphic animals (lot of Beatrix Potter and Frog & Toad in my house.) My sister had all Black baby dolls, and me and my brother were only supposed to play with Black/nonwhite action figures.
