Easter Egg: Lot #1873 references when an armed group of white supremacists attacked a courthouse guarded by a mostly-Black militia in the town of Colfax, Louisiana, on April 13, 1873. A bloodbath ensues, as the militia surrenders and the white supremacists carry out a day-long campaign of terror that came to be known as the Colfax Massacre. They then spread out into town, indiscriminately murdering Black residents of Colfax. By the time the Louisiana state militia arrived on April 14, an estimated 150 people had been killed—an exact count was made difficult by the hiding of many of the bodies.
