That baby could have been my mother-in-law. She was from a very, very wealthy family. She had an AA nanny until she was about 7 or 8 when the stock market crashed in 29 and her father was one of those who jumped out of a window leaving his family to suffer the consequences. For some reason never given, she grew up very prejudice against Blacks.

In the early 20th century, there was a widespread Mammy Memorial movement:

From Readex:

In the early part of the 20th century, nostalgia for the lifestyle of the antebellum South, and particularly for the “mammy,” led to the “Mammy memorial movement,” a call for monuments commemorating the archetype throughout the South. Although largely forgotten now, proposals for “Mammy” monuments were covered and debated extensively in newspapers across the nation. Supporters saw the “Mammy” as a figure uniting both African American and white by bonds of affection and unconditional love. In their eyes, the statue was a figure that could help heal the wounds of the Civil War. The statue was often described as “a racial peace monument.”1 Opponents saw the “Mammy memorial movement” as a sentimental recollection that allowed the history of the South to be falsely romanticized and the proposed statue itself as perpetuating a racial stereotype aimed to keep African Americans in low-status occupations.

In 1923 things came to a head when Senator John Williams of Mississippi proposed a national “monument in memory of the faithful, colored mammies of the South” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.2 Williams was supported by the Virginia chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Across the South, such associations were founded after the Civil War, many by women, to organize burials of Confederate soldiers, establish and maintain Confederate soldier cemeteries, organize commemorative ceremonies, and sponsor monuments to remember the Confederate cause and tradition.

However, AAs were not having that:

Eventually, the pressure brought by African American civil rights activists succeeded in killing the bill in the House of Representatives. Today the controversial history of the “Mammy memorial movement” is largely forgotten, although the stereotype lives on in popular books and films such as The Help.

rocketwolf: Yes Eastern Shore thereof, so far no reaction even at the injection site same with wife. Feb 18, 2021 19:18:21 GMT -5

Sprightly: Glad that you were both able to receive it, rocketwolf. I forget - are you in MD? Feb 18, 2021 15:59:54 GMT -5

rocketwolf: OK Wife Sister and I got our first shot this morning at Walmart. They are kinda slow and spastic about getting it done but it got done for us. We had registered on online mine "disappeared" from the comp. I had the email copy to prove it. It took an hour. Feb 18, 2021 14:36:29 GMT -5

Sprightly: It is between 28-44 days max. I don't know that 44 days at the earliest is necessary. Having said that, we will know when a large number of people do or do not have a reaction at 44 days. Feb 11, 2021 9:33:36 GMT -5

Sprightly: Spoke too soon. I will be on a 9:00 a.m. call and then on the couch for the day. Feb 11, 2021 7:45:31 GMT -5

Sprightly: Had my second vaccine this morning, WKDWZD. At 12 hours later I am feeling okay. My arm seems to be getting sorer as the day goes on. No fever thus far. Just really tired. We shall see what the overnight brings. Feb 10, 2021 21:25:52 GMT -5

Sprightly: WKDWZD - Here, the second Moderna vaccine is given at 28 days or so after the first. Three of five people I know who received their second became quite ill some 36 hours after the injection. Fortunately, the flu-like symptoms only last less than 24-hours. Feb 3, 2021 22:16:03 GMT -5

Evil Yoda: I hope you at least got the Spider-powers, WKDWZD. 'Cause that's what I'm looking forward to.
