Comments
“A friend of ours (age 72) had mentioned to me in
the past that there was a sign at the entrance to his
home town that said ‘No [Niggers] Allowed,’ or words
to that effect. After seeing your message, I asked him
about it last night. He’s originally from Fremont,
Nebraska. He said there were four roads entering
Fremont, but he remembers the sign from the
southern entrance, because that’s the side of town
they lived on. He said he did not know what the word
meant, growing up, and never saw a person of color in
Fremont.”

An black engineer on the North Western Railroad
moved to Fremont circa 1975, but shortly thereafter
transferred to Minneapolis. “What put a ‘dagger’ in his
heart was the cold treatment his young daughter
received from other children.”
