KETC | Living St. Louis | Ulysses S. Grant Museum

From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Jim Kirchherr is there for the grand opening of the Ulysses S. Grant National History Museum in 2007. During the spring of 2005 the U.S.G. committee decided to move Grant's historic barn to create space for a visitor parking lot at Grant's Farm.

@whereeaglesdontdare Actually reconstruction implemented voting rights for blacks. State governments and private individuals may have oppressed as hard as they could, but freedom was a state boundary away. My legal opinion is that blacks had civil rights, and laws and law enforcement officials who denied them rights were beyond their legal powers. Alas, it took the SCOTUS a while to agree with me.

@meangaya Actually, transporting people from the US to Cuba would have been oppression. If you want to see oppression, look at how blacks are treated in Africa... by other blacks.

I'm descended from Grant, though I'm not sure how, I'd have to consult my cousin on that 'cause she's the geneologist in my family. I'm not directly descended, mind you, but descended just the same. I'd like to visit the museum someday.
