|---|---|
| 1 | Was reportedly the favorite author of then-President Theodore Roosevelt's children, which resulted in his being invited to visit the First Family at the White House in 1906. |
| 2 | Once one of the most famous and popular authors ever read, Harris' work has practically disappeared from many bookshelves now because of his so-called "racist" depiction of his most famous literary character, the slave Uncle Remus. Likewise, because of the influence of political correctness, Disney has (presumably) permanently witheld its classic Uncle Remus film, "Song of the South", from television showings, theatrical re-releases, and any appearances on American video. |
| 3 | His home "The Wren's Nest" was once one of the most popular tourist attractions in Atlanta, Georgia. |
