Did you know that a small island off the coast of Maine holds a dark secret? In 1912, Malaga Island was home to a thriving mixed-race community. But then, the state of Maine decided to evict all 45 residents, citing them as "undesirable." They even dug up graves and moved the bodies to an institution for the "feeble-minded."
