Context: 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. Lollie Belle Wylie (1858-1923) was a poet and composer from Atlanta.  She was the first paid woman journalist in Georgia and composed the music for the song, which was the official state anthem from 1922 to 1979.  She was one of the founders of the Georgia Women's Press Club and the Atlanta Writers Club.  In addition to supporting forest preservation, Wylie was the historian for the "Uncle Remus" Memorial Association.  In 2013, she was inducted into the Georgia Women of Achievement.

Aside from his seven mystery crime novels, he also published non-fiction books and articles, and mystery magazine short stories.

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.

It is headquartered in Madison, Georgia and serves the counties of Greene, Hancock, Jasper, Morgan, Putnam, and Walton, of which 35% of the population are members of the library. 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. Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 – July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories.  Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years.  He spent most of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the "Atlanta Constitution".
