Why do I keep reading that Pointe de Sable (real name, NOT 'du Sable'), had slaves of his own? It seems like a highly dubious claim, especially considering that very little is actually known of him. But I've read it before, and it would be very troubling that the City and state would continue honoring such a man if there was documentation of that.
Regardless, the man's life story is clearly more mythical than anything idiot alderman want people to believe.
