- Go to 1947: THE STEPHEN FOSTER FESTIVAL
I wonder if Stephen Foster was a racist or if he just went with the flow.

I totally agree with you how we were taught racism without having any idea. We sang the songs, we called people by the names we were taught and laughed about certain habits they had.It wasn't always color, it was often where and how people lived, extreme poverty,or they were Catholic!!!
