You must be very young. It used to be that every educated English speaker knew of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. It is an ancient folk tale.

It's likely a real story, too.

Yes, I knew the story, but did not understand the posters analogy. NAACP/Pied Piper.. still don't get it. PS,, my handle is in reference to the Piper airplanes I enjoy flying.
