Sharing again... after the Washington Commanders' Wild Card Victory yesterday... I share this image of the First African American Washington Redskin Cheerleader

 


in Covid Times I was getting some carryout from Twin Dragon at Kennedy and 3rd (yeah, the place with the egg rolls)
while waiting for my food
there was a woman with a burgundy mask with gold lettering that read Redskin Cheerleader Alumni
she was a tall slender woman
not young, but not looking her age
I stirred up conversation about the mask
this woman responded pleasantly
telling me that she was not only a Redskin Cheerleader
but she was the first African American Redskin Cheerleader
Laverne Johnson!
CLASSIC!
The Washington Football Team is going to the PLAYOFFS!
