I knew this because my Quaker GGGrandfather's farm was a stop on the Underground Railway and he suffered for it. When we traveled back and forth across the Mason-Dixon line when I was growing up, my Dad would give me a nickel for every lawn jockey I spotted and then use my interest as a time to teach the history of the struggle to protect the slaves, who had escaped North with the help of my Quaker ancestors and their friends..

I agree with the statement: "Oftentimes, PC insanity destroys meaningful history."

So I guess honoring a Black hero is now proof of racism. Well OK. We can fix that.
