Was perplexed and devastated when I read this last night.
I LOVE the Wizard of OZ. Grew up loving the OZ. My mom (where my Indigenous American blood comes from) LOVES OZ!
How did we not know about this?!?
This morning I did some research. And this is based on truth...but I kept researching.

The family of the author has since made an official, public apology.

After puzzling through this issue, my personal feeling is...
While Baum's early articles can never be justified. The fact that he showed a possible change of mind to his prejudice, is an importance that shouldn't be ignored.
In our current, political climate, this history is hopeful. This shows that there is a true possibility of changing the prejudicial hatred of the people who seem hopelessly lost in their viewpoints.
