Packed properly then Shipped FREE with USPS First Class Mail. This is a piece of Detroit’s history that I never heard of before. From the Internet: “This site was the location of Detroit’s first and only whipping post. The post was used to flog thieves and vagabonds, in protection of the city’s moral codes. The whipping post was also a location where a man could be sold for a number of days work for petty crimes although slavery was illegal in the state of Michigan. The legacy of the whipping post is still little-known. However, it is reasonable to assume that Black Detroiters, prior to 1830 when the post was removed, were punished at the post. It is mapped on the Mapping Slavery in Detroit map created by the University of Michigan.”
