I was looking up the information on our Web Assignment when my husband mentioned what he was typing up for his mother. A transcript of daily life when his grandmother was a child growing up. She was born December 17, 1907.
Since we were discussion racial distress in class I thought this might be interesting to you. A game she mentioned in her writings was called "Black Man." The discription of this game follows. (He also has her writings on the Flu epidemic of 1918 and the Depression, and many other historical happenings.)

Rumor - Play - Threat - Mischief - Everyday life
The "Black Man" is both a children's game and a form of parental threat for misbehaving children. But one day the children make believe what it would be like if he really came. Suddenly there are black footsteps around town, for instance, though no one is able to see him. Security measures are implemented, people lock themselves inside. This goes on for a while, and then things return to normal. What really happened is never quite clear, but the fear of strangers and the security precautions remain. In one especially memorable full-size illustration scary nightmares are depicted in which black shapes creep out from the cracks in the wall, windows and even the pavement. This book can also be read as a bitter persiflage on today's craving for security. (8+) ¤
