*The Secret Service was established on July 5, 1865, in Washington, D.C., to suppress counterfeit currency.*

Pinkerton was from Scotland and started the Pinkerton Detective Agency. That I’m aware of he had absolutely nothing to do with the secret service.

[Watthead]

Imagine calling yourself a historian...and thinking Pinkerton created the Secret Service.

[sgtbma]

So we can’t complain about crimes and gangs because of the Pinkerton’s ?

[adbgaming]

Lmao so it doesn’t matter what’s happening today because what happened before?

I was offered a great job there while I lived in Chicago. I didn’t take it because my landlords pretty much scared me out of it, claiming that one day something was bound to happen to me if I commuted daily (I lived in north Chicago, off Irving blue line). One of them said “please don’t take the job down there” Sad to see the downfall of such a city. I was unaware of its history. Anyway, I’m back in Miami now!

It went from that to little kids screaming “we not from 63rd” and glorifying that. Black community is lost. Hopefully we can get everybody back on track idk man

Allan Pinkerton invented private security, not the secret service.

Alan Pinkerton couldn't catch Jesse James!

I was born and raised and still live a few blocks from 63rd and Halsted.

*The construction of apartment buildings in the 1910s and 1920s created problems of density and economic segregation. By 1920 the population soared to 86, 619 and Englewood's shopping district at Halsted and 63rd was the second busiest in the city. In 1929,  Sears developed a $1.5 million store here. The Great Depression years did not affect the operation of the larger stores, but many smaller ones suffered and several banks in Englewood closed.*

[KreationsKidsbyK]

How that happened? That’s going to help no one. They need more than a history lesson.

My mother took me to one of the movie palaces back in the early 60s on 63rd in Austin.
