Photo by Vincent “June” Chappelle The Lincoln Colored Home, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is in need of renovation and repair. which she ran for 35 years. It s a facet of Springfield s history that doesn t get the attention it deserves. Mary Frances – a professor, artist and activist who lives in Springfield – set out to help rectify that last year with a documentary titled
