Last month, MultiCultClassics questioned the quote in the ad below, wondering about its accuracy. Slavery in America is often considered having been more prevalent in the South. However, New York has a strong history with slavery that has been clearly documented and detailed—including plenty of references involving Wall Streetplayers.
Couldn’t find any references to support the quote in this Italian ad, including sources here,here,here and here. Black slaves were reportedly involved in building the wall, and it was apparently used to defend against attacks from Native Americans. These days, it seems like Wall Street stops Blacks from entering.
Update: Found one source to corroborate the ad claim.
