The Vineyard is where they came to establish a settlement and the town honors them today. You can find Skip Gates there, riding his oversized triciycle. The island is a Democratic, liberal stronghold and plenty of black people take that ferry to and from the island in the summer.

If they do, tell them they're thinking about Nantucket (a vacation land for republicans)...
