Dear President Turnip, I have proof of the existence of slavery in the form of a notebook kept by one of my ancestors. Here are 2 pages, showing that "Vilet" was apparently kept as breeding stock. If we don't learn our history, we may repeat it. Or is that what you want? #slavery #history

A federal judge just ordered the tRump regime to put back everything related to climate change, science, and slavery on national parks and monuments nationwide, stating tRump cannot rewrite history. #ProudBlue #Slavery #ClimateChange #ScienceTrumpstRump

"Last summer, the city of Portland paid millions to descendants of Black families forced from their homes by racist urban renewal projects." "It was an effort decades in the making." "And one of the driving forces was a local librarian." #Oregon #USA #Housing #Courts #Slavery

A local librarian's research helped secure a settlement for descendants of displaced Black Portlanders

Byrd took her research and family history and created 'wearable history.'

Today in #LaborHistory 7/16/1862: #IdaBWells was born into #slavery in #Mississippi. #Journalism. Cofounded #NAACP. Anti-lynching campaign, after 3 black men murdered in #Memphis, Tennessee.

During #slavery, the holiday season was a brief chance for the enslaved to plan escapes and rebellions amid distracted owners. A historian tells the story of resistance: buff.ly/3BGaYXo 🗃️ #BlackSky #EnslavedPeople #christmas

buff.ly

For enslaved people, the holiday season was a time for revelry – and a brief window to fight back

Whether it was spent feasting or plotting escapes, the week between Christmas and the new year offered a rare opportunity for enslaved men, women and children to reclaim their humanity.

How long before the US Supreme Court rules that slavery is a states' rights issue and that individual US states can pass legislation to reintroduce it if they so choose? 🤔 #USPolitics #VotersRights #slavery
