Black Issues in Higher Education, March 25, 2004 by Eleanor Lee Yates
Over the years, Thomas has amassed more than 300 Black dolls, including a rare 1915 composition baby doll she named Sara. Another favorite is her Topsy Turvy, with a Black maid's face and attire on one side and a White girl in a frilly frock on the other.
"I think these dolls are beautiful examples of art," she said. The dolls, after all, are just the messengers.
