I doubt they talk about the Union Army hanging him, but I have a very strong hunch they will cover John Brown, and specifically the manner in which the KU fan base celebrates him with a painting done by a man who was attempting to villify him as a dangerous extremist. An example of how viewing history through the lens of an athletic rivalry tends to distort things.
