I don't know that this belongs in politics but for the fact that those who inhabit this board would probably find it the most interesting. Apparently, Al Sharptons Great-grandfather was owned by Strom Thurmond's great-great-grandfather.

Just kind of a strange twist of fate...nothing overly political.
