Folks who doubted the authenticity of the BLM movement are beginning to wonder if they should join them. Infiltrators who care only about being paid are pretending to be a part of the movement but are only creating more tension and chaos. Folks are being shipped
When I was in elementary school, I couldn’t find history books on Slavery. Regrettably, I was left to imagine what Slave life entailed on plantations in the Big House and in the fields of burning hot sun - the places where Black captives, stolen from the shores of Africa, endured their lives and their fate for generations.
