44. I'd like to hope the noble legends behind them are true, at least in spirit

Part of me wants to believe that the two legends, which somewhat acknowledge the bravery and courage of so many Black Americans, are real, but I tend to be a bit naive about things like that. The truth is probably they started as decoration people thought were cute and funny, completely insensitive to the demeaning stereotypes they portrayed.
