****** Boy Steel Wool Soap Pads, circa 1950s Summary Packet of ****** Boy Steel Wool Soap Pads, used and owned by Bill Boyd in the 1950s. It represents one of many brands which used the word '******' to sell and promote products during the 1950s and 1960s. It demonstrates how African American stereotypes and slurs have been imported and reused in Australia. The William Boyd Childhood Collection includes most of the childhood possessions of William (Bill) Boyd, who was born in 1947 and raised in the Victorian town of Maryborough. Kept by Lillian Boyd (Bill's mother) for decades, upon her death the Collection was donated by Bill to the former Museum of Childhood at Edith Cowan University in Western Australia. When the Museum of Childhood closed it was transferred to Museum Victoria. Physical Description Rectangular yellow box with steel wool pads inside. The box has a picture of a young black boy, winking and with a big smile on two sides and a lady's hand scrubbing with a steel wool pad on the other sides. There is extensive text in yellow, black, red and white on the box. Significance Encompassing toys, books, clothing and other items, the William Boyd Childhood Collection is rare in its comprehensiveness: even ephemera such as the back of a Cornflakes box are included. The Collection demonstrates a range of prominent themes in the lives of postwar Victorian children, such as the ability to 'make do' under austere circumstances; the shift in toy manufacture towards plastic materials and mass production; the continuing cultural influence of Britain; the increasing embrace of American popular culture; the prominence of gender roles; and the popularity of transport and war themed toys for boys.

We cant put these doctors (no matter who is wearing a uniform) on a pedestal..and treat them like a White Jesus..going to doctors and putting our health in someone's hands ...giving up responsibility (We have to educate ourselves) ...and whether you believe or not..there is an agenda ..to reduce the black Population.and the ability to survive in Lucifer's playground ...We just had a HAPPY NEW YEAR but it's all about survival..no celebrations here... until melaninated people are all where we need to be in this place called Hell
