As a grad student at the College of Charleston, Lauren Davila found an ad for the auction of 600 enslaved people — the largest known slave auction in the U.S.
The discovery prompted a small group to spearhead the creation of a historical marker in downtown Charleston.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH EVERYONE!!!
I live a couple of miles from the Ohio River, where the river represented the border between freedom and slavery.
This painting honors John P Parker, who lived just 7 miles from my home in Ripley, Ohio. Born into slavery, Parker learned to read, bought his freedom, owned his own business and helped hundreds of slaves cross the river.
His home is depicted on the far left of the painting.
