She insisted that there was still slavery in the Brooklyn, in 1898.
Slavery was ended in that part of the country in 1783.

The Dutch haven't ruled that area since 1674.
Colbert even gave Clarke several chances to think her statement through and take it back, but each time she all the more confirmed that her statement was fact.
Well hopefully the representative knows her current Brooklyn politics better than it's historical ones.
