Today is a sad day in Eatonton, Georgia. Someone stole this statue of Brer Rabbit from the Uncle Remus museum. I guess they thought they would melt it down and make some money on the scrap metal. Guess what- it is made of iron and isn't worth anything. The natives are very angry at the theft. I kind of think it is about time to get rid of this remnant of the segregated south. As a child this story always made me uncomfortable- so relax Eatontonians-maybe this loss is going to bring you out of the 50's and into the 60's and civil rights!
