The Trial of One Short Sighted Black Woman vs Mammy Louise and Safreeta Mae
by Karani Marcia Johnson

In THE TRIAL OF ONE SHORT SIGHTED BLACK WOMAN VS MAMMY LOUISE AND SAFREETA MAE, Karani Marcia Leslie explodes the plantation myth of Mammy Louise as the protector and nurturer of the Master's family, and her mulatto daughter, Safreeta Mae, the willing sexual toy of the master in a courtroom ritual-drama that has Mammy Louise and Safreeta Mae defending themselves against indictment from Victoria, an upscale, professional Black woman who feels that their images limit her potential to be taken seriously for career advancement.
