"No More Uncle Tom"

Ms. Avery Brewer is holding the “No More Uncle Tom” sign. She was a resident of Lindsey Street, and was a wonderful cook.

Mrs. Avery worked at Chapel Hill Cleaners for a number of years and during the time of the civil rights marches, she was noted to say "they want us to clean their clothes but don't want us to eat at their restaurants".
