    Whoa pony!!! Great video!
    As an anthropologist I’ve made it my life’s work to share the good, bad, and ugly past of this great country. Dred Scott was tenacious and persistent - he was steadfast in his beliefs.
    I feel so blessed to have seen his resting place.
    Im planning a road trip to visit it first hand.
    Thank you so much!

    👍👏👏👏. I'd not heard of this. Sad what people of color went through. I love hearing these stories. Every person has the right to be treated fairly. He had the right to fight for his freedom. I love History, and Learning. We all know not everybody was treated fair all through History. I find his name unusual, wonder if his mother was making a statement that he might Dred being born.maybe it's just me. But a person name can say a lot..Indeed Dred Scott was a Brave man. It could of turned out bad for him. He didn't live to enjoy his Freedom.. RIP. Mr Dred Scott..🙏🦋🌠🌻🌷✨✌. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James.🧘‍♀️🙂👋..

    I've never heard of this gentleman before now and I have to say that his story doesn't half make you think. We are all human, therefore, we all complain about things, but we sure as heck don't always realise how lucky we are to be born when we were. Not just slavery, but many eras where the hardship people went through, are times we can't even begin to imagine. Thank you for sharing this story 🙂
