Bones might be from 1832 mass grave of Irish immigrants who die...

Researchers may have discovered a mass grave for nearly five dozen 19th-century Irish immigrants who died of cholera weeks after traveling to Pennsylvania to build a railroad.

"Watson believes that some of the workers may have been murdered because of their illness or ethnicity. There was general prejudice against Irish Catholics"

Where do I go to apply for my reparations? It's time for hope and change.

Great story. It just proves that the Irish were a minority that was treated unfairly in many respects. They were used as slaves the same as the black man.
The difference is that the Irish have moved on and put away that terrible past. We don't ask for anything because of it.
The black man has been using slavery as an excuse for their ignorancefor generations.
Everyone is sick of hearing about the African Americans and how badly they were treated. Get over it !!
We don't call ourselves Irish Americans.
We're AMERICANS.
