Word of the Day: Melungeon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melungeon
I had never heard this word until today.
Melungeon = Member of a triracial (black, white, native) group that supposedly is most prominent around Cumberland Gap, not that far from where I grew up. I saw an article suggesting that Abraham Lincoln was a melungeon.
The melting pot effect: we're all related whether we admit it or not.
