Joel Chandler Harris, Author of the Uncle Remus books

Atlanta, GA

Just listened to Uncle Tom's Cabin and think that my 4th great Uncle, Joel Chandler Harris and his Uncle Remus books about that period in history are relevant to today's radio 360 topic. The Wren's Nest, his home, is now a museum in Atlanta, GA. Born in Eatonton, GA, the town boasts The Brer Rabbit Museum. His works, like Uncle Tom's Cabin, have been misinterpreted as "racist" but, in fact, are anything but!
