Driving on a major road through town, I spotted a billboard...so jolting I had to turn around and take picture of it. I was like "what tha fuuuu???".

Sometime after we got home I saw this video (below). Wow.

Being white and older, we experienced nothing but politeness and smiles. We commented to each other that Harrison would be a nice place to live. Boy, were we wrong. One big hint should have been the fact that we saw only 2 or 3 POC during our entire stay.
