Well, that must have been upsetting!
And obviously Black people had to contend with racism up North.

Your grandfather's grandmother- yikes! Thank goodness they didn't have to endure that. I'Ive seen that infamous photo w the man and his scars.

Even if some of the stories get mixed up a bit; there's still basic truths in them, and are part of personal, and American History.
