Historic Stagville: A Slave Plantation Still Standing

“We are open about carrying on the legacy of the free and the enslaved,” says Hardy. She speaks of the American Girl doll and fiction children’s book series, Addy, which is inspired by a child slave who once lived here – the black doll proudly sits on display in an exhibit area along with pre-Civil War artifacts and other memorabilia encased in glass.

  • #Repost from @vicdeleon1 Goodbye Edward Crawford, Rest In Peace. . Crawford, 27, of University City, was the father of four children. In 2014, during the Ferguson protests, Crawford grabbed a smoking tear gas cylinder, fired by police at Ferguson protesters, and threw it back. In a photograph taken by Post-Dispatch photographer Robert Cohen, Crawford became an iconic image of the protests along West Florissant Avenue. Crawford found instant fame after coming forward as the man in the photograph. “I didn’t throw a burning can back at police, I threw it out of the way of children.” The sheer importance of the entire series of events that took place in Ferguson, all the lives that changed, the anger, that shouldn't be forgotten, but it was that one particular moment of the millions of moments that week which became most iconic. I was gripped by the images and compelled to recreate that scene with Edward throwing the tear gas away. . . Ferguson Missouri 2014 .
