Context: Joel Chandler Harris House, also known as The Wren's Nest or Snap Bean Farm, is a Queen Anne style house at 1050 Ralph D. Abernathy Blvd. (formerly Gordon Street.) , SW.  in Atlanta, Georgia.  Built in 1870, it was home to Joel Chandler Harris, editor of the "Atlanta Constitution" and author of the "Uncle Remus Tales", from 1881 until his death in 1908.  He is most known as author of the "Uncle Remus" tales, based upon stories he heard slaves tell during his youth. Song of the South is a 1946 American live-action animated musical film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures.  It is based on the collection of Uncle Remus stories as adapted by Joel Chandler Harris, and stars James Baskett as Uncle Remus.  The film takes place in the southern United States during the Reconstruction Era, a period of American history shortly after the end of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery.  The story follows 7-year-old Johnny (Bobby Driscoll) who is visiting his grandmother's plantation for an extended stay.  Johnny befriends Uncle Remus, one of the workers on the plantation, and takes joy in hearing his tales about the adventures of Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear.  Johnny learns from the stories how to cope with the challenges he is experiencing living on the plantation. Jump!  is a studio album by Van Dyke Parks.  It was released in 1984 on Warner Bros..  The album (and its accompanying children's book) is a retelling of Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus tales.  Parks mixes numerous musical styles.  On "Jump!"  these include bluegrass, Tin Pan Alley, 1930s jazz, and Broadway musical. Br'er Rabbit (Brother Rabbit), also spelled Bre'r Rabbit or Brer Rabbit or Bruh Rabbit, is a central figure as Uncle Remus tells stories of the Southern United States.  Br'er Rabbit is a trickster who succeeds by his wits rather than by brawn, provoking authority figures and bending social mores as he sees fit.  The Walt Disney Company later adapted this character for its 1946 animated motion picture "Song of the South".

"Br'er Rabbit Earns a Dollar a Minute" is a traditional African American folktale, featuring Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear.  It is famous for its inclusion among Joel Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus" stories.  Although its folk roots most likely trace back to ancient Africa, the folktale's first written appearance was as a chapter titled "Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear" in "Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings", published in 1881. Uncle Remus is the fictional title character and narrator of a collection of African-American folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris, published in book form in 1881.  A journalist in post-Reconstruction Atlanta, Georgia, Harris produced seven Uncle Remus books.  Harris wanted to show that life in the Southern United States was hard and that they struggled a lot.  The term that comes along with this is "folk uncanny".  Harris wrote these stories to represent the struggle in the Southern United States, and more specifically in the plantations.  He did so by introducing tales he had heard and framing them in the plantation context.  These stories were written in a dialect that represented the voice of the narrators and their subculture.  It is for this choice of framing that his collection has led to controversy. James Baskett (February 16, 1904 – July 9, 1948) was an American actor known for his portrayal of Uncle Remus, singing the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in the 1946 Disney feature film "Song of the South".  In recognition of his warm portrayal of the famous black storyteller he was given an Honorary Academy Award, making him the first black male performer to receive an Oscar.
