At the link below, view a video narrative by Ms. Terry Crawford, President of Motor City Doll Club of Detroit and read the accompanying article on Sandra Epps' 2nd Detroit Doll Show, written by Donna Terek. Some of my vintage-to-modern dolls are included in the slide show that complements the article.

ReplyDeleteBlack dolls have evolved into more positive images. While all consumers' doll needs are not yet met, strides have been made throughout the years toward this end.

I recognized so many of your photos! Thanks for sharing this interview.
ReplyDeleteHi Muff,
DeleteI had to gather these photos with very short notice after the reporter contacted me. She specfically wanted photographs of Topsy and Mammy dolls but had seen some of my natural-hair fashion dolls on FB and requested those as well.
I really enjoyed Terry Crawford's narrative and how well the slide show images were used to complement what she said.
