There are many sites of slave sales in Boston, including Dock Square, Court Street, and Josiah Franklin’s store at Union and Hanover.

I’m with team RayJ.

Don’t forget John McWhorter who wants his nice white friends to relax and get their release. I agree he is not an artist. 

I’ll be celebrating when Bilious Bill exits the scene - permanently.
