              <text>Trade card promoting grocers Bissell &amp; Underwood and depicting a racist scene of barefooted, African American men knocked about from a kicking mule in the middle of a cottonfield. In the center, a mule equipped with a saddle and reins, kicks its back feet into the air, above a wooden board lying on the ground. In the right, a man attired in a blue shirt and white, checked pants, tumbles onto his back and with his legs in the air. Near him a man attired in blue and white striped pants and an orange, checked shirt, runs away. In the left, a man attired in blue pants and a white shirt falls to the ground, head first and upside down. In the lower left, the lower leg and bare foot of a person attired in blue and white striped pants and running away is visible. In the background, a man with a hat and checked shirt stands with both arms up in the air in alarm. Two figures gathering cotton are also visible in the distance. Bissell &amp; Underwood’s store was closed and sold for auction in 1881.</text>
