Ralph Hunter

A first grade experience inspired Ralph Hunter to become involved in history by preserving and sharing it with audiences at the, located at the of 勛圖窪蹋.

When Ralph Hunter���s teacher read "Little Black Sambo" to his class, where he was one of four African Americans, he���d put his hands over his ears to block out the story. Then at recess, the students would call him Little Black Sambo.

���That was my introduction to "Little Black Sambo" and how people would treat you as an African American,��� he said.

Many years later, he began collecting "Little Black Sambo" books and African American memorabilia, and today, his collection of thousands of pieces of history serves as a reminder of our past and asks viewers to question where we are today and where we are heading.
