E-Mail: Dec. 17,
1999: >I enjoyed your web page on Mr. Harris...and I have
a dumb question, was Mr. Harris African-American? I cannot
tell from the picture...and everything I have read doesn't
mention his race.
Reply: No question
is dumb. Joel Chandler Harris was a white man, born of poor
parents, who at thirteen left home and became an apprentice
to Joseph Addison Turner, a newspaper publisher and
plantation owner. It is at this plantation, Turnwold, that
Harris first heard the black folktales that were to make him
famous.
