Addy Walker, Her Life, Her Time
Addy Walker was discriminated. That means that she was seperated from the rest of the crowd, because she was black. I think Addy has an intersesting life. What about you?
Master Stevens kept Addy and her family for slaves. Slaves and maids are two very different things. Maids want to do their job for money. Slaves don’t get money, and they’re forced to do it. It’s sad 
Addy soon escapes Master Stevens with her mother in 1864. They escaped through the ocean, her mother couldn’t swim. Addy had learned how to swim, so she was good to go. She had to help mother get through the hard waves, and they are free. They lose the rest of their family though. Addy learns what it means to be free and she learns to read and write and make new friends. Still she has hope faith through these hard times, and keeps her dreams alive.
Addy was introduced in 1986 and was the second girl to be in the series after Kirsten, Molly, and Samantha.
Addy has had a lot of hard times in her life. And sad times. I think Addy has an intersesting life. What about you?
Once again we would like you to thank American girl collecting to lend us these pictures for our posts.

My daughter loves to read and her favorite doll to read about is Addy. I feel that Addy is not advertised enough and that is not fair .Everytime a new doll is introduced she is ALWAYS caucassian. No I am not prejudice in any way and my 2 daughters have frieds of all races and backgrounds but I just feel that Addy is not advertised in the catalog enough.

I agree they only have one page on Addy in their magazine while other dolls( Caucassions) have up to 4 pages in the magazine seems a little strange when we all know Addy’s story is just as important as the others
