“For more
than 200 years natural philosophers,
scientists and showmen have exhibited the
bodies of African Americans with white or
gradually whitening skin in taverns, dime
museums, and circus sideshows. The term
White Negro has served to describe
individuals born with albinism as well as
those who have vitiligo . . .”
From the
book, The White African American Body by
Charles D. Martin |

PARIS--SCIENTIST EXAMINES 'APE GIRL' - An
11-year-old "ape girl," an unusual version
of the bearded lady, was examined by French
scientists at the Salle du Luxembourg in
Paris January 15. Prof.
Bernelot-Moens, Holland-born anthropologist
who presided at the scientists' meeting, is
shown examining the girl whom he discovered
in Spain. Her extra growth of hair
like a mantle over her shoulders and neck,
is presumed to be due to endocrine
disturbances similar to those which cause
male growth of hair on many women.
