Georgetown's Hidden History First, it was a slave port. Later, it was a thriving center of black life. Today, it's a virtually all-white enclave. Why? By Andrew Stephen Sunday, July 16, 2006; B01 Two negro men $300 One ditto woman $150 Four ditto girls $150 Two horses $200 Two cows $30 It was a shocking discovery . Flipping through files at the local library a few months ago for a school project, my 16-year-old son chanced upon the deeds of the house in which we live.

A. Don't know why you're so bent out of shape about something that took place so long ago. I'd be willing to bet that this info has no impact on your life financially, spiritually or even physically. Yes, people made some horrendous mistakes in the past...but if you constantly dwell on what has happened you will never be able to change what should be. We all know that slavery was accepted at one time here in the U.S. and I personally wouldn't condone it if it was still in existence today. I abhor the notion altogether. But that practice was ended by Abe Lincoln. And what about the slave owners in Africa and the middle east today? Wouldn't your passion for this subject serve people better if it were applied to current circumstances? You were… [cont.]

A. Here are my answers. No guarantee that they are all correct, but here goes: 1. C. (I think that a lot of land was set aside for national parks during the Teddy Roosevelt Presidency.) 2. A. (my guess is that most immigrants stayed in the cities at the turn of the century.) 3. D. This is a WAG on my part. 4. C. (I know that I am right on this one, the end of WWII was the start of a mass Exodus to the suburbs and the start of the baby boom.) 6. B.
