Lynne Jackson, President and Founder of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation makes her remarks during groundbreaking ceremonies at the Old Courthouse in St. Louis on Tuesday, January 31, 2023. The Old Courthouse, built in 1839, will undergo only its second renovation since it was constructed. The $380 million renovation will increase accessibility for all visitors, undergo structural improvements and will expand on the legacy of Dred and Harriet Scott who unsuccessfully sued for freedom for themselves and their two daughters in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857 in the Old Courthouse. Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI
