Day 16: Black History is Everybody's History: Do you know?

The horrific enslavement of Black/African peoples was not so long ago.

This is the second post to call attention to the fallacy that slavery was so long ago, and as such, Black people ought to just forget about it and move on. Not so long ago, many Blacks were owned by Whites. Many Blacks were refused access to education, places to live, good jobs, dignity, fair policing, fair child welfare, justice in the courts and the list goes on. Much of this lack (blocking) of access continues.

Do you know that slavery was so recent that there are still living children of former slaves? You can read more here: Son of a slave reflects on the lessons he learned from his father (msn.com)
