LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS.....Dred Scott was a slave who was owned by John Emerson of Missouri. (IN CASE YOURE WONDERING ABOUT MISSOURI) the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857 (ONLY 157 YRS AGO), ruled (7–2) that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States. President Abraham Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the post-Civil War Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments nullified the decision. NOW YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
