Can you imagine if people from a foreign land tried to come to America dig up George Washington or Thomas Jefferson’s grave, and put their bodies on display in their museums? There would be outrage like we’ve never seen before.
This has never, and will never sit right with me.
This is the Jackson rooming House, when celebrities would come in town they weren’t allowed to lodge at white establishments due to segregation... so they all came and stayed here. James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, & Ray Charles all stayed here.
