As for your second question, about another significant event in American history involving a young African-American girl, the only one that even comes to mind right now is Rosa Parks, and I don't remember exactly how old she was, but I think it was a little younger than 9.

We read a book about her in school last year(I can't remember the name of it). I think that that is very cruel of your co-workers. American Girl makes alot of AA dolls. They are all beautiful.
