Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby, [193-]. '"Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby" by Ruth Mitchell and Alfred Allen - Negro Repertory Company'. The Tar-Baby, featured in the Uncle Remus stories, was a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit. Although the term 'tar baby' is documented as coming from a folktale of African origin, many now consider tar baby to be a pejorative term for African Americans. The Federal Theatre Project, created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, was designed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and to bring theater to thousands in the United States who had never before seen live theatrical performances.
