Aw, Uncle Remus.



This is from the Disney film, Song of the South--I don't think you can buy it anymore b/c it's been blacklisted as being racist. When it premiered (in 1946), Uncle Remus (or James Baskett, the star of this film) couldn't attend because none of the hotels in the town at the time would give him a room. Which is really sad. Because he's amazing.

  1. We sure did go to Aspen! Although, that picture is obviously not from the time we went: that particular picture is one that my mom/dad took when they went when they were younger. Luckies.
