Little Black Sambo

Hilda Nash Olsen, tells a 2-year-old Brandon Evans Bishop, her great-grandson, the beloved story from her childhood, Little Black Sambo! As grandchildren, we gathered around grandma's knee as she enticed us with this story of adventure, danger and intrigue. Although it might be considered politically incorrect today, we had no clue of the implications of a "black Sambo!"
