The lede

I am at a loss when I read in the lede that Holyoke was a "slaveowner" and then, not developing this later in the article. It looks more like a case of vandalism by someone (who by the way, forgot to put space between "slave" and "owner"). Whoever added "slaveowner" to the lede of the article, should at least provide some sourced information about Holyoke as slave owner. Otherwise, "slaveowner" should be removed altogether. 24.225.161.193 (talk) 04:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
