The freed black people, who then, in cooperation with white missionaries and teachers, staged a parade of 10,000 on the track. The procession was led by 3,000 black schoolchildren carrying armloads of roses and singing the Union marching song “John Brown’s Body.”

After the dedication, the crowd dispersed into the infield and did what many of us do on Memorial Day: enjoyed picnics, listened to speeches and watched soldiers drill. pic.twitter.com/a6G4SsOi27

In the weeks after the former president appeared on #CNN, the network’s ratings have plummeted…its ratings last week were the worst the network has posted since June 2015….The network averaged just 429,000 total daily viewers from Monday to Friday
