I was watching Jeopardy and, as I said, waiting for the dryer to stop. The question went something like this: “Now thought of as being racist, black-faced lawn jockey statues were believed to signify the house was a member of this organization...”
The answer? The Underground Railroad!
Wow, I have never heard that before!
Wow!!! Learn something new everyday I always thought a racist lived in a house with a lawn jockey! Who knew?
