You did a good thing there.
I had cousins who literally centered their holiday celebrations around the black jockey perched prominently in their front yard. The year everyone, including the jockey, was wearing Chicago Bears jerseys (jockey in the center of the group shot, naturally) for their Christmas card, I casually mentioned that most people didn’t realize the true history of the black jockey statue was that it indicated safe homes on the Underground Railroad. It’s actually not a proven fact, but the story worked: the jockey was banished to a spot behind the garage by the next time I went to their home. snerk
