RACINE â The city is a bit closer to memorializing the important role it played for people escaping slavery on the Underground Railroad.
Graves Signs has been awarded a contract for nine cast bronze historical markers that will commemorate stops on the Racine Underground Railroad Freedom Heritage Trail, which actually includes 27 sites across the county, but only the nine in the Main Street business area will be memorialized at this time.

Allegations
Deputies from the Racine County Sheriffâs Office were dispatched to South Beaumont Avenue, in Dover, on June 9 after a woman alleged that Carter had tried to hang her and intended to hang himself in his basement.
As deputies approached the house they saw the victim and Carter. He was reportedly yelling at the deputies, saying he did nothing wrong and the woman was lying, according to the criminal complaint.
The woman told deputies that she and Carter had been in a relationship for approximately nine months.
She alleged that Carter had spent the night doing cocaine and watching pornography, according to the criminal complaint. In the morning, he began drinking vodka before becoming angry and violent, she told investigators.
Stanger, while behind bars, also allegedly sent a letter to the woman heâs accused of assaulting.
Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch presided over the preliminary hearing on Thursday and determined there was sufficient evidence to bind the case over to the Racine County Circuit Court. Following the preliminary hearing, there was an arraignment, during which Stanger pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
The evidence
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Tanck-Adams represented the state in Thursdayâs proceedings.
Investigator Andrew Sparks of the Racine County Sheriffâs Office was the only witness to testify at the hearing.
He told the court the investigation began when a woman in Waterford reported she discovered videos on Stangerâs computer that show him engaging in sexual contact with her while she was passed out. The victim reportedly told Sparks she was not aware nor awake during the assault.
