Artifact Overview
The Civil Rights movement, as well as the emerging woman's movement, created a whole new world for kids growing up in the 1970s. As social barriers and traditional gender stereotypes began to break down, kids were encouraged to appreciate diversity. This popular toy was one of the first playthings to include an African-American toy figure.
