Boy
Bronze
42 Inches High
Limited Edition Available.
African American slaves were called "boy" to indicate their being considered less than full men by slave owners. The Supreme Court ruled that, "Although it is true that the disputed word ['boy'] will not always be evidence of racial animus, it does not follow that the term, standing alone, is always benign."
