The Path of Praise was a special Thanksgiving broadcast on Cavalcade of America in 1951.

Stories about Brer Rabbit appear on many classic reading lists. However, please be aware of the following caveat:
Description from the Kiddie Records Weekly site:
Uncle Remus was created in the 1800s by Joel Chandler Harris, who grew up on a plantation in the South during the days when slavery was still very much a part of life. The first books Walt Disney ever read were the Uncle Remus stories and he brought them to life in 1946 with the release of Song of the South. Because of it’s stereotypes, some have found this classic film objectionable and consequently it has not been shown in theaters for years, nor has it been released on DVD.
