Reenactor Sean Turner walks past the mural depicting the "flight to freedom" during the 10th annual Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing Celebration on Saturday, May 5, 2012, in St. Louis. At the site next to the Mississippi River, historians say Meachum helped a group of nine slaves board a skiff and cross the river to Illinois. After shots were fired, they were met on shore and five were caught. Photo by Erik M. Lunsford elunsford@post-dispatch.com
