Jiggaboo?!? I'm not sure if that's considered a racial slur nowadays, but I remember my elderly great grandmother would refer to black folks as Jiggaboo’s, I don't think she meant it as a slur, it just seemed to be the term people used for black folks from her generation.

The cookout must have been named for Compton, Calif. This college town, described as "lovely" by Barbara Bush in her memoirs, was once the home of George H. W. Bush and his son George W., who lived in an apartment house at the corner of Santa Fe Ave. and Myrrh. My own aunt grew up a few blocks away.

The home where the Bushes lived was torn down some time after 2002, when I last saw it, and the site is now a vacant lot.
