Little known historical note: (Please be aware that my family came to the USA in the 1880s. One part of husband's family went to Canada in 1650s...so no way do we qualify for membership.) I remember hearing 20 plus years ago that a Black woman applied for membership in the DAR. She was able to prove that her ancestor(s) fought in the Revolution and (the catcher that eliminated most African Americans from membership) all members of the family were married through the generations. Her family weren't slaves during the revolution. They were free and free to marry. NBC Nightly News covered the story at that time. I think they "had to" let her in.
I saw only a bit of last night's episode: Michaele (sp?) and her husband are quite a pair...wait, you sneak into the White House breaking all sorts of federal laws and social constraints, and you threaten and are sanctimonious about a kid?!!!!! And yes the husband is a mean drunk. Stacie and her husband came across so well, supportive and kind. (fell asleep before the end of the episode).
