I hope your research about the enslaved people will educate how so many white people still look at our people as property instead of as Human Beings, which is SAD.

I am related to Lincoln and my family relatives are Gray from the surrounding area of Illinois. I was wondering what cousin of Lincoln might have any relationship with what Gray in slavery?

Thank you for keeping us reminded of some of the ugly history of our country. I love my home country but also realize our nation was built on the backs of others that often go unmentioned.

Thank you. This is the start of the conversation that so many say forget or get over it. These were humans my forefathers and I can never forget.

Ben and Sarah, Thank you for helping to shine more light on our dark history, especially in light of the ongoing resistance to inclusion and acceptance of minority persons in our country!
