In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant.

All children born in the penitentiary to blacks were property of the state.

At 10 years, they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.

THE ERA OF THE MOORS, IN EUROPE

The statue of Moorish king Kasper, with the coat of arms of Avenches of himself, was erected in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, in 1520 CE.

The moors were a group of black-skinned people of Africa that were part of European societies, mostly from the 7th century CE but most historical findings indicated that their presence in Europe might have being before the common era.

There were dozens of Moorish delegates in the continental united States... The first Congress led by George Washington in the 17th century CE in America. These moors were later cast with enslaved Africans in most of American territories in an effort to take their lands after the first continental Congress.

The Moors in Europe were sacked out of the Iberian peninsula and their castles taken. The last Moor to have been sacked out of Granada and the surrounding towns happened on january 2, 1492 CE.

The sad and racist history behind the Aunt Jemima Brand.

A THREAD

Aunt Jemima was a brand of pancake mix, syrup & other breakfast foods owned by the Quaker Oats Company. It was one of the earliest products to be marketed through personal appearances and advertisements.

What time does Harare sleep? Was out and about downtown Robert Mugabe Road after dark and it was busier than during the day.
Pavements and streets filled with vendors hustling all sorts of wares...
Do they go home or they sleep in the streets of the city that never sleeps
