Brer Rabbit

Brer Rabbit is a central character from African American folklore, especially within the Uncle Remus stories collected by Joel Chandler Harris. He is a clever, witty rabbit known for outsmarting larger or more powerful opponents through cunning and resourcefulness. These stories often depict Brer Rabbit facing challenges or bullies, using his intelligence rather than strength to succeed. His tales serve as moral lessons emphasizing ingenuity, resilience, and the importance of cleverness in overcoming adversity. Over time, Brer Rabbit has become an enduring symbol of cleverness and quick thinking in American storytelling tradition.
