The Circus Day Sifted Through a Black Family Tale
A Black family in a city recalls a day at a circus. Martha Fairfax frets over dress and meals while George Abraham chases a parade and sneaks into the tent to see animals. Monkeys threaten him, a bear cage rises, and a kind circus worker helps him escape. Gingerbread crowns a tense reconciliation at home.
