where Black mothers were separated from their daughters, where Black fathers were separated from their sons. A place where the haunting of American history is woven within the cracks of the concrete and in every steel rail that carried Black people to be trafficked. “Racial subordination was codified and enforced by violence,” the site of the museum reads — right there, where we were standing.As noted, I am no stranger to these sorts of spaces.
We saw heads of the formerly enslaved, sculpted with reverence. We heard voices telling the stories of children who began their lives under the safe covering of a parent, only to be robbed of that peace. We saw scenes brought to life by a painter’s heart and hand, displaying the many iterations of Blackness and its power.
As we walked, my 4-year-old son, Asa, kept asking, “Daddy, what’s this?” I did my best to explain. “That’s where we come from,” I said, or “that’s what happens when people are mean.
I stood still. I hugged my son. I hugged my wife. For five minutes, my wife and I were silent. We smiled. I closed my eyes, took a long, deep breath, wanting to inhale whatever spirit was in the room.
Black History is pretty much the same as the Black Present: Racism, family separations, forced labor, police brutality, voter suppression, systematic dehumanization...
Black fragility
Black parents should be ashamed
What Is Going on Regarding Efforts to Limit Black History is Very Complex and Requires a New Approach:
What we knew in 1960 about 1860 is the same as 2022. So stop
En la bibliografía de varios autores. 'La historia en su esencia, abarca muchos aspecto de una nación'. Es demostrativo que una de su importancia, es no - repetir lo negativo del hecho en lo individual/colectivo.🇦🇷
Or the history of the CIA introducing drugs and Marxist ideology to destroy the nuclear family to re-enslave the black population using their own people. Liberal cities are always crap and always run by Dems.
The compost peddles racism
Black parents. Only about 25% of Black homes with children have parents. Instead the children have a parent that is a single mother.
Perhaps those kids should show up & pay attention in school when U.S. history is taught in class. They'd learn all about the good, bad, & ugly times in U.S. history... like every generation has before them.
