Pub Note:
|
The map includes illustrations of people and places around Florida. While most of the illustrated people are depicted in acceptable stereotypical ways, the caricature of African Americans is derogatory and offensive. This was a common way to depict African Americans during the Jim Crow era (1876 to the late 1960s).
