I called Marcia Fudge, the head of the black caucus, and my HOR Rep (because of OH 'pubs who can't even get gerrymandering correct), with this message for her gal on the phone:

During the time of slavery, many an escaped slave used the Cuyahoga River as their escape route, hoping to get to Lake Erie and then across to Canada. Well, many got to the Lake but not across. That is why the east side of Cleveland has one of the largest and oldest concentrations of descendents of slaves in the US. Now, that freedom trail along the Cuyahoga is a national park, forever preserved as a reminder of the path those escaped slaves took to freedom. That's right, folks. Obama (who isn't a descendent of slaves) closed access to that powerful symbol of freedom.

Ya' think maybe Destiny (the girl's name...honest) got that message to Representative Fudge? She represents those Cleveland area descendents of those brave and determined slaves who made their way to freedom. <^..^>

Good luck with that, USA blacks are not generally NPS supporters, you will not find many of them in a park unless it is an urban area.
