Mulatto, which has its roots in the word 'mule'--the sterile offspring of a male ass and a mare--is a horrible word, that is associated to people of color. No one should allow themselves to be call a mulatto.

The title is from the original 1940's caption from the photographer. While 'Mulatto' is offensive to us, back then it was the everyday term for people of mixed race. Thank goodness we have progressed a little.

We still hold "Court Day" in my hometown of Mt. Sterling, KY every October. It began as an event similar to this photo. In our small county "court day" or the day that they held local court was also a time for folks from the country to gather around the Court House square to trade and sell hunting dogs, food, guns, and other supplies. Today it is a large flea market and fair held once a year, but up until the 1980s, it still held this flavor of a countrified flea market and trade/swap.
