[QUOTE]I only had AA dolls - Barbies and otherwise. They were all AA. My parents made a point of it. Soror AKA2d'91, to your point about limited AA dolls in the '70's, I'm not sure if I would be a child of 70's or 80's b/c I was born in '74 but would not have been playing with dolls until late 70's early 80's.

I'm not sure that it would have mattered for my parents b/c they were very Pro-Black and growing up in Chicago during the 60's and 70's when racial tensions were high, and race riots were liable to occur at any minutes, they emphasized Blackness to me.
