This week Ian wanted to take a crack at some history after an experience he recently had.
Recently a relative got married and on his way to the ceremony Ian spotted a home whos yard was overflowing with little black statues. Curious he looked them up and was shocked to read what he did about the history of lawn jockeys.
It's a complicated history, that no one is really sure where it started from. But we do know today that having this statues in ones yard is a glaring red flag for many people, namely black people.
