Would you eat at a bar & grille named after Jefferson Davis?

Last year I was invited to dinner by a few of my coworkers, and I brought along a friend of mine who’s black. The restaraunt was called “JDI’s” so we didn’t realize what the acronym stood for until we got there. The menu featured a short biography of Jefferson Davis and extolled his virtues as a leader, but didn’t even mention that he wanted to betray the United States or succeed from the union. Suffice to say, me and my friend felt uncomfortable while eating.

The restaraunt closed down last month, so it’s quite apparent that not many people wanted to support a restaraunt that admires Davis.
