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.

For thousands of Wisconsin defendants accused of crimes, they need to put up cash to get out of jail.
When defendants â even ones facing serious charges with massive bail in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars â have money or community support, getting out from behind bars can take just days or weeks.
But for those facing bail bonds of only a couple hundred dollars who donât have support or deep bank accounts, they can languish in jail for months, sometimes taking deals that donât serve them well in the long term simply because they want to end the court process, because they want to stop waiting, to get back home or go to prison quicker, to get out.
