Reply to comment by Aggravating_Rise_179 in Why are So Many Historic Buildings in Newark Still Being Demolished? | Jersey Digs by 66nexus

Given that she claims that the city’s (black) history starts with the rebellion I wouldn’t put much stock in what she has to say. That completely excludes all of the black history that Newark is renowned for up to that point and is a pretty wildly ignorant claim from someone who fashions herself a “historian”.
