You find in the middle of Fredericksburg (VA) an inconspicuous stone on a sidewalk. In old time he was in use as standing-place for auction off slaves around 1850. The person to be auctioned had to climb on that block. Good old times ? Picture: Sarah Stierch public domain Attachments:Slave stone.kmz (766 B)

Thank you for this post, willi1. Imagine how many artifacts from this time were demolished.

Hi, an inhumane time and not long ago. Hard to believe, but slavery is still found today in some parts of the world.
So long, Pitter
