On this episode of #IDKMYDE, we delve into a chapter of history as we explore the events that unfolded on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. Back during the Civil War, when the North needed more soldiers, a draft was implemented—but with a cruel twist. White folks could dodge the draft by paying, leaving the working-class white men to bear the burden. Fueled by anger and racism, they unleashed a horrific rampage, targeting innocent black men, women, and children. But amidst the chaos, there were tales of resilience as the children of the orphanage miraculously escaped unharmed.
