The Song of the Molimo

(4) 4-6 In an unevenly written novel, twelve-year-old Harry befriends an African Pygmy on exhibition at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Seeing through the exhibition leader's theory of the superiority of white men, Harry sets out to undermine him. Harry's encounters with secondary characters detract from the main story about the effects of racism.
