Downtown Marion, Illinois, in 1910

Sunday, June 15, 2003

The Evansville Courier-Press carried a story on the effort to reopen the Old Slave House. It's on page B1 if you can get a hard copy, or you can check out Andrea Preston's story online:
EQUALITY, Ill. - By early August, the Old Slave House should be open to the public again, serving as a reminder that slavery is part of Illinois' history. That is, if Gov. Rod Blagojevich buys into Jon Musgrave's free "four-point plan" to revive the site that once drew crowds upward of 38,000 a year.
