White Missouri woman's slave cabin sparks race talk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- In Sedalia, Missouri, a white woman built a slave cabin in an effort to start a conversation about race. The controversial move didn't exactly go over well. Steve Hartman went On the Road to find out what happened next.
History isn't meant to be "uplifting". It should be as accurate. Try walking through the Holocaust Memorial and see how "uplifting" it is.
I don't ever wanna go back in there it's too painful all those people for what....
I do a agree its a very touchy subject for people
I agree with your point, but her exhibit is completely historically inaccurate!! (See my comment above). Credentials: I have a degree in American History and have worked at several historic buildings and historic houses.
Plus they have an entire library full of many uplifting moments, I'm sure, that's literally right next door...that no one goes to.
Michael agreeed 100%%%%
If she would have built a damn liquor store she would have gotten a better reaction SMH. Her intentions were good at trying to educate young kids.
K Bella I swear!!!
Im sorry K Bella, I disagree...she should have build it in the white neighborhood! White children are the ones that need more of black slavery education then black children do; the intent was good, the location was wrong.
We all need to be educated about our whole US history. Tell the whole truth.
K Bella Damn that was well put. It is a shame that some Polkpeople can't see past their own hate.
Awoke! Awoke!
Awoke, there you go generalization of all Caucasians.
As an educator and a social advocate for our communities of color, I think she is an agent of change and need our support.
People are so sensitive. It’s nothing wrong with what she did.
I could see how it could be a touchy subject.
Mel Thomas don’t ever use that term again it really tells me what your views are 🤦🏽
Yes there is, she showed up white !
Nothing wrong with people vovisting old plantations to learn about that dark part of our history or having a wedding venue either.
@@brittanyhayes1043 I can see a lot of problems that somebody could have with people getting married overtop of a torture ground and slaughter site for innocent people.
She has single handedly done more for the black community in the area than the local government has. This sweet lady spent her own money, her life savings to educate those folks without expecting any payment in return.
Her legacy will live on.
It’s very sad that she’s not getting many visitors and locals are against it but if she was to pass away, the town would declare her a civil rights activist and start to worship her. I hate how most folks ignore people like her trying to make a difference till she’s gone to be recognized. She is simply awesome!
Isaac Kamau What a beautiful thing to say.
So now they know about slavery and racism great
*single handedly*
👌
King James James 1.1----And what exactly did she write that was bad?
As a Black Man I am not offended we need to see it upfront and in your face thus younger generation doesn't care
Ajay Dwayne same way how I feel as someone who is Japanese American. I'd rather have a candid and thoughtful conversation about Japanese internment camps and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It isnt going to be nice or fun or uplifting. Its history, it happened, and it was tragic, which is why we need to talk about it and keep it from happening again.
"The younger generation doesn't care", what you meant to say was black people don't care.
Because if the black community got educated on their history then they can't take on the role as a victim (minority status) in modern day society.
Coffee Jack no thank you I said what I meant and meant what I said I don't need any correction or instructions
@LIVE FREE ORDIE willing to have that conversation too, this isn't a one-way street
Well go to a black Library
I appreciate what she did. I would love to visit. I hope someone will help this woman and continue her legacy.
Fr
I think if she got Black community support involved it has interested parties whose descendants suffered as enslaved people. Instead, it looks like a White lady is trying to make money or get famous. It is the history of African Americans after all and they should be involved in a project like this. She did however get people to start a dialogue and I appreciate that.
Amen
A useful memorial to reality. Many ppl are offended by truth.
Right
The lady was actually trying to do something good in her community as well. I like how she gave the man a hug and good compliments to show who she was as well.
You want something more up lifting?
She built a Black History Library 100 feet away first ....
GO READ A DAMN BOOK!!!
easyguitarsongs you are?? something else... if that is your outlook on life...that's kind of sad.
Carl Austin Jews wouldn't think of sending their kids to Germans to be educated about the Holocaust.. what African-American parent would send their kids to a white resident of a still-segregated Southern town to be educated about anything??? Psychologist: heal thyself.

Never owned any fool.
Awoke! Awoke!
Go back to your Afrocentric videos and let rational people have a minute.
I don't see anything wrong, to be honest. She's just trying to teach. And surprise! Everything in history is not uplifting. That's reality.
Also, remember History is written by the conquerers mostly.
Sam Jones Also remember that there are stories that have been told by the minorities themselves.
@@wmtyrance and is the solution to that to squash any effort to teach the story of the conquerored because it reminds them of it
Well said...I agree!
Bot
I live in St. Louis and never realized that this was here. Heading over to check out some books and never forget.
What was it like, did you go yet?
Black history is Knowledge for the sole.
"Never forget"? You're whiter than snow and yet act like you suffered all the torture and injustice right along with black people! Why don't you go talk to an elderly black man or woman who survived through the thick of it?
Gigi soglamorousipeeglitter never forget as in never let something this horrible happen again. It’s not that deep she is respecting black culture and appreciating the fact that it should not be forgotten by anyone.
Gigi soglamorousipeeglitter because they’re dead
Don't see any harm in it, can't just erase history. The more you learn the more you know as long as it's accurate.
Apparently, people of a certain party believe that by removing what offends and hurts there feelings, history will go away. They believe that there feelings are the only thing that matters and your rights mean diddly poo to them.
You should try to convince the people erasing historical figures and pulling down statues of that.
@@lookoutforchris Maybe YOU should since you're commenting.
She did it right. It's not supposed to be uplifting, it's supposed to be real. She kept it real, and she kept it true. I'd make the trip from Arizona to go visit the place. In fact, I may do so early next year.
errol mcinnes right me to i will love to go my self i think that was really nice what she did and i stay in nashville i have to go visit
errol mcinnes if you go, please post a video or pics. Please.
errol mcinnes she should have put it in the white area and the black history library In black area. I agree with the man she ment well but it just doesn't look right. She should of had conversations with the black residents and black community leaders before.
errol mcinnes And if I decide to build a museum of the Irish Famine in your neighborhood, with a diseased crop of potatoes planted outside, in order to educate your kids about exactly how the Brits viewed them, including vintage and 'real' posters saying "No Dogs or Irish Allowed".. you'd visit with the kiddies, right?
cableknitter- ...and, there it is! ;)
I know one thing for sure. It's sad that no one ever signed the ledger/ sign in book. I'm a 36 year old blackman from Vicksburg ms. And I would go there to see that place. I see nothing wrong with it.
I don't like the slavery but they fought every day blood sweat and tears. fought for the same country Died for this country tooth and nail.
American we all are for we all fight for freedom.
Me too
Great comment. Had plenty of friends from the South & some made great southern dishes? Especially. Love biscuits & cornbread 1 wife made at a fundraiser. Asked make more & shared with my friends. Best to you.
She has a greater understanding of history than most. Great story, thanks for posting!
Lovely lady. She is a inspiration. Hope she will have all kinds of visitors. Blessings to her and to her little cabin.
Im going to make a road trip to visit her library with my kids
Rita Shaw oh wow 🤦🏾♀️
That's so cool! Would you please post a video? If I lived closer I would definitely visit her Library
That’s a wonderful idea 💡 would love to see a video of your trip x
that's a wonderful idea!
Hello Rita Shaw I need to know did you take that visit, if so please give me the info so I could make a visit there
I see nothing wrong with it. As black people we need to make up our minds. Seriously. I'm all about black excellence and black lives matter, but if we gonna protest for people to start talking about the issues in this country then we can't get upset when white people who really care and care to educate other white people and black people about history. For gods sake she has a damn library filled with black history feet away, what white person spends that much money on black history. If I lived there I would go, we need to stop being so sensitive, and just throwing in the word racist around because when something or someone really is spilling out racial slurs and things of that nature then people won't want to hear it, because they believe we think every bodies racist
Landon Fise Thank You
preach it girl! 👍 👍 👍
Landon Fise speak for your self
Landon Fise
Exactly I'm not bothered by it at all no difference than a museum.
Landon Fise well said my friend.
After that hug he felt the love holding back tears☺
I think it was a courageous move in order to spark the conversation and thought to not forget but to remember.
I dig this... She's doing what a lot of us are to afraid to do.
I think the people who lived through that era just want to forget it. I was born in MS and when I turned 18, finished HS, I left and didn't look back for a long time. It was, and still is a very "racist" state!!
Don't shoot the messenger. Black people, we need to stop living in ignorant bubbles and dismissing opportunities to learn about who we are and who we came from. Sure, slavery is a painful subject but our ancestors deserve to be remembered and honoured for their perseverance and strength. Our ancestors endured so much inhumane treatment yet they endured and survived and thus, here WE are today. ANY opportunity we have to learn what the government won't teach us and our children in schools and libraries should be a welcomed invitation to learn more. I would walk right into that cabin and learn more about who "lived' there. I'm proud to be a decendant of slaves. Yes, I'm proud because I know NO other race of people could endure what my people suffered and still do to this very day. We know so little and are still so devided because of an age old conditioning imposed by a people who hate and fear us and our true potential to be a formidable race of people to contend with. Wake up, people. The only reason why we are still "oppressed" is because WE allow it. Educate yourselves, unify our people and embrace, honor and celebrate our ancestors. Alone, we are prey. Together, we can be a phenomenal voice and force to be reckoned with.
Mima Vivi, very well said. People need to honor their ancestors, and it is important to keep their memory alive. Not being African American I don't have right to say much on the subject, but I do think that it is important to remember the struggles of those who have gone before us, and the injustices they have endured/ and or inflicted. Maybe if we can embrace our past head on, we can learn something and help tear down the racial barriers that still exist in the hearts and minds of some. Avoiding the past by sweeping it 'under the rug' perpetuates the injustice inflicted upon those who survived slavery by invalidating their existence and the hardships they went through. There is still work to be done by both sides, and a lot of healing, even though the scar of our history remains. God bless, and may someday the racial divide be something long past. Keep on fighting the good fight.
This was beautifully stated...you’re so humble and kind 💕
jerwin2885 Thank you and I believe you do have just as much right as anyone to speak proactively about this subject.
Sofia Bravo Thank you. 💕💗💕
Sam I wouldn’t mind it. An everyday reminder of bloodshed, a reminder to appreciate all things at all times? Too many people simply want to forget it happened.
Respect and honor the dead, or you shall forget the living.
"It reminds us of so much injustice". Damn that dude aged well for being alive in the time of slavery.
Brother the the library was uplifting but you didn't use it!
If you aren't willing to see her motives, then I could see why this would be a problem. It's too bad she spent all that money for the black community, yet no one showed up or cared.
1.) Perhaps no one showed up or cared because we don't need to be educated about our history as it is written on our souls and the well-worn tracks of it wind their way through our lives to this day and 2.) She didn't do it for the Black community, she did it for herself. It's something that for one reason or another she felt compelled to do. Love is asking what someone needs and doing it, not doing what you think they should need and being angry when they aren't appreciative.
We don't need white people teaching us our history because they don't teach truth they teach lies.
Rare Gem,well said,well said,well said.
Hayden Cook she should have put it on the other side of town... it’s not us who need to be reminded...
Pickleman That is so ugly to say.. Shame on you! Get all that hate out of you're heart unless you are a minnion of Satan's..
I like when she said you gotta walk thru your history you can't just step over it and pretend it's not there because that's exactly what a lot of people do, ignore the injustices and evil of the world but it's time to address and make changes ✊
But she is talking to the wrong people. It is White people who refuse to walk through ALL of America's history. They step right over the unpleasant parts and try to pretend that somehow, things were better than they actually were. The history books largely omit Black history and give little truth about relations with the indigenous peoples who were here when the White man arrived and began settling and colonizing and driving them off their lands.
@@fancybrooks3156 Please do not forget that White Men - Europeans - included the Spanish. They are responsible for that, too.
Awesome point...
Fancy Brooks bruh there is so much history with slavery and not enough time ofc they will not go in detail.. you actually think you learned everything in math with all those years you took....?
Who cares about the past move forward not backwards , black people are weird y’all stay living in the past
*God, I feel bad for that woman. She spent her life savings on some thing that nobody cares about. I always feel bad for people that put everything they have into a project and that project fails. But this is even worse, because she wasn’t doing it for financial gain or anything, she was doing it for an extremely good reason.*
It’s not about how it may look, it’s about the intention. Maybe instead of being outraged try looking at the fact she spent every penny she had for the education of others and if that isn’t the sweetest thing I’ve seen all day. This really brought a tear to my eye
I know people have mixed feelings about this. But at least she's not a racist in a community that is. The hug at the end had me teared up. But I get where she come from do. I mean you have to know your heritage to better understand yourself.
Seems a bit far fetched that she had any bad intentions when wearing the banana republic shirt.
Sam seriously dude stop looking for hate. Nothing is hateful here.
There are museums that showcase all the racist ideas and racist items from back in those days....I think this is all very important. I might not feel great while visiting but history of the world is important to know.
The town is already segregated
@@acf894 😂
She wants to get recognition to remember the past if you keep removing these types of artifacts then nobody will remember the tragedies people went through! Think of it as a museum.
Thats sad, nobody came to the library.
She's coming from a good place. Shes over 80yrs old, she should b enjoying the rest of her life,not bringing conflict into it. Shes done it anyway and i thank her for it.
I hope that guy go back and tell the other blk & wht people in that community to go and check it out..
Avoiding learning from the past, will ensure that the past is repeated.
Every race should learn their history, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I didn't see anything wrong with it; I actually want to visit it
She had no ill intention with this, the opposite actually, as she was trying to help people learn about the past and how people were treated then. I think it's unfair, as I feel if a black woman built it with the same intention, it wouldnt have gotten near as much backlash. All the matters is that she is trying to educate, and I wish people would see that.
@BigBoy 5.56mm Okay racist.
Did she build these “tributes” on the town’s “white” side of the railroad tracks?
When her intent is measured it's found to be pure. Keep it as a reminder. I like it.
God bless her, At least she's trying to bring peace.
You know that Ashawoitz is still open to remind the German People and people around the world of our past worng doings. It’s not easy walk through but it is our history and we must learn from it.
Auschwitz... dummkopf
Never heard of "Ashawoitz".
@Brandon Perry Criticizing ancestors is one thing, criticizing the descendants is another.
I remember being in middle school and having a teacher call me Hitler because of my very german last name. I live in America, and you can guess that for years afterwards I was called that.
I mean...I see what she was trying to do, I don’t see anything she’s doing as bad. She has good intentions.
I would truly believe that this woman does not have a racist bone in her body and what she was doing was out of the goodness and generosity of her heart not to hurt anybody I would say what she did was absolutely beautiful and I congratulate her on it it's called history
Maybe we can't understand because she is white but she was coming from a great place that's wonderful
Agreed. In some way it's kind of a shame that she's catching anger from both sides. The white haters naturally hate her and what she represents, while some people in the black community are angered as well. That's life I guess, and the black community is without a doubt entitled to their perspective.
pR1mal My thing is white people back then and to this day that hope and think that we are all equal and should be treated as such have gotten the same treatment. we as a people should not allow one bad apple to spoil the bunch I thank the white people that walked with Dr.king as equals and was beat up and even killed for believing what's right it's hate on top of hate this woman don't owe us anything no white person does Jesus died for things of this nature like hate we need to start allowing our selves to heal with world that has beat us down everyone has suffered from racist comments or what have you none is was or will ever be ok when a person can recognize faults and work to better them it's truly an act of god
Barbara k Well stated.
Barbara k
Amen 🙏🏼
Wish I could share that optimism.
I think she meant well. There's a saying 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.' I think instead of denying the truth and denying the pain. It SHOULD be taught and remembered. Truth hurts but I rather have it be acknowledged and made to never happen again than just forgotten.
She did good because our generation dont know something. Uplifting doesn't teach us nothing. It spare our feeling. History teaches us the bad and the good. History teaches us about the past and be thankful. We still got work to do
Slaves did not live this well! My great grandfather still lived on a plantation when I was coming up and it was not this nice. That was in the 60's.
Right...I was going to say the same thing...that is one nicely built shack...I'm sure some minimalist would not mind moving in...lol
Good point. Living conditions reportedly varied a lot. She has great start, but maybe that info is/can be included.
@@tonyaldorsey From what I saw, she had pictures hanging of actual housing in the library. Whilst I'm sure the display could have been better, there's a lot of regulations for public work projects and with her privately funding it's probably not going to be accurate and safe. Hopefully in the future, she can make things more realistic, but as of right now it's not something to get mad over. She's trying and I think that's important.
I'm not even mad at her. I get it. People need to educate themselves and open their eyes to the reality of society. I'm a black woman raising two kings and a queen and I'm glad people like her are taking the time to open our eyes. Whether good or bad she accomplished the goal she set out to do which was to get people talking about race
Be real, Mammie. You're raising two future felons and a felon factory. We wuz kangz an' qweens an' sheeit, right?
Some folks just don't get it, black or white! This woman came from a good place and wanted something controversial to spark conversation, which is what's needed between us, so I commend her and will definitely come to your museum, with friends.
I can’t find anything online about this place or how to visit it. Does anyone have recent info? Is it still open to the public?
The uplifting part comes when you step outside the shed, and look around you now.
What's changed terry??
@@chosenfew3040 Slavery and racism evolved, just became more hidden, it never died. But to say NOTHING’s changed? Please.
I think it's great. To me, it's like the current restoration by the National Parks service of some of the internment camps that housed over 100,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. It's a part of history that needs to be told, and the structures help bring the history to life.
Good intentions gone wrong, next time maybe she should confer with the black people in the neighborhood, how about that?👈
👎🖕
Honestly, i think this is good to show history shouldn repeat, and that people have the right to be angry and that there proof of it.
They will get over it , there little fe fes will be okay
She's beautiful.
Especially for her age
Your hideous
she is put together for 85
Agreed
You can tell she was a stunner back in her prime years.
2019 …. Wonder if CBS will do an update?
$150 grand for a black history library? Money well spent, apparently.. ROTFLMAO
That nobody goes to but quick to complain.
Well you know, not everything can be uplifting. You have to take the good with the bad. It's history, it's a visual aid. It is how you came to be here and how your ancestors lived. It is a living history house.
Krystle Canales She should have built it in her backyard.
Tiffany TheBarber Right!
Awoke! Awoke! I do
I think she tried to do a good thing and at least she's being heard. Knowledge is power and learning history is part of that power.
Bless her heart💜✝️ if she only reached one heart she has done more than me
QUICK to listen, SLOW to speak, SLOW to anger. If a celebrity set this up people would stand in line for hours to visit.
I find pieces of history to be something we need to never forget our past. Its important to have
I'd go!
Me too!
I'll give Her a pass, I don't think Her intent is to try and harm anyone, in fact, building that cabin was a very intuitive way of bringing the pass into present, and have us talk about it.
It’s something all need to learn and know about. IT HAPPENED!!
Bravo ! She is doing a great thing . Bravo!
Yolanda Moore it’s her BBC cabin
Hot Lava ?
Yolanda Moore Her intentions were good, but her execution was horrible she should have had a discussion with the community first before she started to build something that.
Trapinnewyork44 i disagree, there are alot of hard truth's in this country, and slavery is one of them. We can't keep our head in the sand .
Yolanda Moore 😩You didn't read my last comment to well, I didn't type anything about not learning about the past. Like typed before, yes her intentions are a good thing, however look at the results..no one should up, why? Because of her poor execution.
She should of had a discussion with the black community first before building something like that.
That's like a German building a concentration camp for history lessons in an all Jewish neighborhood without speaking to community first.
God bless this woman for trying.
The hug @ the end was uplifting. She said you're all muscle ❤✌😍
Thanks Marge. I appreciate what you've done and will be sure to come visit and bring my family to continue to educate rather than hate. Still hope
I loved when she said you gotta walk through you’re history. You can’t just step over it and pretend it’s not there .I see her motives for change are honestly coming from a loving heart ♥️
I believe her heart was in the right place.......
Right....... If its all done to start the conversation, then its well worth the criticisms.
EZ Bluegrass
. O.o
I totally understand where she is coming from after hearing her heart. It was meant to educate and bring unity.
I'm a black man and I admire this lady for wanting to have a conversation about race.. she said the history is there and we can't just step over it like it's not there...very wise lady
Her motive well intent. I see it from both perspectives. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless her. 🙏
sonia polycarpe what a beautiful thing to say. Much love and respect sent your way.
Bless her! She is wonderful!
She spent 150,000 dollors of her money!!!. Nothing is like a visual experience compared to pictures. She rememberd. I salute and thank her.
The harsh reality of our past here in America was anything but uplifting! It may be difficult face head on but we have to and stop being hesitant to discuss our history.
I will be there.....💕💕💕
I wouldn't mind visiting. I'll take my kids too.
This Doctors vision is on point. The Holocaust survivors grand children are now visiting the concentration camps in Europe..
It simply avoids forgetting the mistakes of the past...
If young folks saw what their ancestors had to go through then maybe squandering the opportunity in front of you wont happen.
I think that this lady has a good heart. I would like to visit the site.
Wow! I would visit it! History is very important. All lives matter! Injustice hurts all of us. The hate hurts all of us...”We The People “.
I'm black and I would love to visit that place. I need to know my history and Every little bit helps.
It's marvelous to see Preston and Marge interacting openly and feeling comfortable talking about how they perceive things differently not only from the Racial perspective but too, form the age difference as well! They make a great team. I hope they find more time together, helping others to learn about themselves.
"You've got to walk through your history". This is true.
If she sold lotto tickets and malt beer they would praise her
Right, I bet she would be invited to cook out then!!
Mariah Sneed no she wouldnt idiot rascist and you wouldn't either. Stick to your mayonaise sandwich and kale demon.
Just goes to show how people would rather be outraged than educated
Perhaps... just my thought.. the people who need to be educated are the ones on the other side of the tracks. It always seems to me that the Blacks know this part of history and are always reminded of it, yet non-blacks rather ignore it or claim no participation.
Wow I will love to go to the library!!!! I will sit and read all day long 😍
We ain't never satisfied period
It's great that there's a black history library but the slave cabin is just a little too far. Maybe a sign that says " this is just a model" or something similar.
The slave cabin is a Visible reminder. for many, until they See, they do not nor cannot understand.
Isnt it obvious its 'just a model' ?
alot of misinterpretation her motive is not insult black foll but to reconcile to move on with the future hence the reason for black history a tributes to blacks who died , contributed for a better world and fought for equality for all especially blacks Rob from their ancestorial home Rob of their culture demonised by radicals and stereotypes base off the complexion of the skin . A SHAMED THAT STAIN THE EARTH OUT OF GREED.
1:33 I asked my teacher why we continue to talk about slavery, thinking that should be buried in the past and we all should be start all over again and she answered : -“If we forget what happened in the past, the story will be repeated again”. I know that this story is painful and more for those that their ancestors were slaves but sometimes I think that remembering all this pain just make the “Other side” feel proud of what their ancestors did with the black people. I want to understand the meaning of what this lady wants to teach about with “No talking of it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t there” but at same time look it her, she is dressed in completely “White” color from head to toe like and old soul from that past…😅
I wonder if Native Americans would like to build “The masacre” that colonizers did to their ancestors… well they don’t have the same wealth of this lady…
*History hurts for most…
well said
She said can I give you a hug your a wonderful guy this guy is all muscle🤣🤣🤣💀
Uy
I love to read! My mind gets a serious break from reality and I can see through someone else's eyes.
Slaves did not live in this grand a place. Who is she kidding?
Jewell Foster--- Let's see, who would know more about how they lived, you or a woman who built a black history library? BTW, I didn't notice a chandelier in that "grand place".
I want to visit it and maybe stay the night during cotton season. I wanna pick cotton for as long as I can take it and I want someone to tell me no I can't have any water and I can't stop. I want the sweat from my brow & the tears from my eyes to become one. I want my heart to cry so loudly that my ancestors hear that I feel their pain & I appreciate what they went through to get me here. Thank u & Thank u God for life.

There are many places with buildings just for show. It does help to see how it felt to live in those conditions back in the day. I mean I visited places that still had old buildings and didnt felt offended by it. I just wish people would understand the Education side sometimes. It's not always about racism.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.” Orwell 1984
I feel so horrible for her that some people can be soooo ignorant! She was trying to do something positive and coming from a good place she put all her freaking money into it and this is how people react?!? She cared enough as a white women to educate people about the past not saying it was right but just showing the truth and trying to do something positive for the community! It is a black history museum that means it’s not all going to be pretty it’s just going to be what history was. So we don’t forget and NEVER let history repeat its self! Knowledge is power and you can tell she has a great heart and wanted to do something nice for the neighbor and no one cares! I feel horrible for her! In Miami I took my nephew who is half black to see historical trains at a museum. It is extremely sad but they have “whites only” signs in some of the trains and pictures of slaves and what they went through. Did I like it ?NO! I told my nephew this is a part of our history and it’s sucks! That some of your great great grandparents went through slavery and his grandparents went through segregation. Unfortunately it’s reality that can not be ignored!
Did she ask any of the black residents for input on what they might want in a black history library?
Wonderful reporting ! These kind of reports should happen more often. We want to hear those voices who were silence by the accusations of racism in this 'cancel culture' of today's society.
She was likely married to or had a secret BLACKMAN( or WOMAN) FRIEND😎GUARANTEE U
Awoke! Awoke! Why you say White people like we are all the same? White people have many different culture and are not the same. I’m a white Bosniak, we are the oldest and purest europeans and we were slaves to muslim turks and arabs and We have never owned slaves Lmao say American white. Because American white are not the same as other whites
