In abolitionist Boston, the Mayor & Aldermen directed the BPD to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. "Keep a Sharp Look Out for Kidnappers" rings true today ~ just it time for our 250th birthday!

After many years of being a regular subscriber, I'm paying $30 for this crap because that's been the "don't unsubscribe" response & hey, the remaining actual reporters are actually worth reading. I just tried to respond negatively to Thiessen's piece, & it was rejected ~ not for the first time.
