@kreddugc: #PARTNER Gordonsville, Virginia is the Fried Chicken Capital of the World, but the history behind it deserves just as much attention! Ever heard of the “waiter carriers?” They were entrepreneurs before anyone gave them that title and their famous fried chicken secured their path to physical and financial freedom. *Many thanks to the staff members of The Exchange Museum, the James Madison Museum, and the Orange County African American Historical Society for their efforts in keeping this history alive. #visitorangecountyva #orangevahistory #virginia #BlackHistory

Watermelon has a similar history & that’s how it became a stereotype also.
