    There's no evidence that this place was part of the underground railroad. 🚂

      It's an important aspect of the history of this country just as massive immigration of Eastern Europeans, Italian peoples in the early 1900's. Aren't you interested in the history of this country?

      @@amargad69 yet it's still occurring. You study history learn and to make changes if necessary. Apparently several communities and people are repeating history in terms of raci discrimination just as the Italians, Eastern Europeans and other emigrants we're discriminated against. I'm tired of the hate of "groups" of people. Yes, there are individuals I wouldn't cross the street for but it's the individual not the ethnic population.
