A hangman's knot is one way to tie a rope. But it's also be a sensitive subject in the South.
"It reminds me of the days when African-Americans were routinely hung from a tree," says Memphis NAACP Executive Director Johnnie Turner.
She agrees with a decision to fire three employees who tied noose-like knots above the Germantown Performing Arts Center stage.

Just my opinion, there is no reason why those workers had to tie the excess rope in that fashion. This is disgusting.
