About this episode

The episode explores the implications of Lisa discovering her ancestors' involvement in slavery and the comedic challenges surrounding such a serious topic.

The Simpsons were slave owners?! It happened! Or did it? Here we have Lisa discovering that her ancestors helped a black slave escape to freedom, with an added secret for good measure that should change the history of the show, but won't. It's hard to find comedy with a topic such as slavery, and this episode is a perfect example.
