My Barbie, your Barbie, our Barbie

Mattel's newest line, So-In-Style, features six African American Dolls Barbie Dolls that highlight the importance of mentor ship, with three older sisters and three younger sisters. Nice article from Michel Martin about Barbie Ethnic Dolls Collection. 

Barbie is introducing a new line of dolls, specifically to better represent African American girls (as it was explained to me, Mattel has made African American dolls for quite some time ... since the "Julia" doll in the 1960's and there have been black Barbies, but no dolls made to look ethnic other than in skin color).

 Here you can read th full article ( from National Public Radio)
