“A flurry of proposed measures that could soon become law...try to reframe Texas history lessons and play down references to slavery and anti-Mexican discrimination that are part of the state’s founding.”

These 2 enslaved women fiercely resisted slavery in early 19th-century Brazil. The 1st committed infanticide, killing her 2 children. The 2nd killed her owner. Their sentences? Dozens of lashes and deportation to Africa. #slaveryarchive #twitterstorians https://t.co/qePTaBYDH5
