Know facts about antique lawn jockey statues: The jockey, in a secret way, pointed to safe houses along the Underground Railroad. "These statues were used as markers on the Underground Railroad throughout the South into Canada," said historian and author Charles Blockson, curator of the Afro-American Collection at Temple University in Philadelphia. "Green ribbons were tied to the arms of the statue to indicate safety, red ribbons meant to keep going." He added. "But this figure which was sometimes used in a clandestine nature, and sometimes without the knowledge of the person who owned the statue, was a positive and supportive image to American-Americans on the road to freedom."
