- **Event Description**: Dr Todd Gray examines the contested and sensitive topic of the black fictional toy character and how it became part of the debate on racism.About this EventLessons to be learned from the history of the golly, 1895-2026Dr Todd Gray, historian & Research Fellow at University of ExeterTodd Gray discusses the sensitive topic of the black fictional toy character which has became a symbol of racism. Todd claims that race was not considered the defining feature of the original golliwog dolls which were created in 1895. His research shows the golliwog’s roles were not only as a childhood doll but as a mascot, corporate trademark, charity fundraiser, entertainment figure and Great War amulet. In his new book Waterwogs and the Contested History of the Golliwog, he reveals the reasons behind how, as Britain’s most prevalent image of a Black man, it developed simultaneously as a cherished childhood toy and racist icon.
