"My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant - before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child's affection toward its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection of the mother for the child. This is the inevitable result."

-Frederick Douglass, 1845 as he wrote in Chapter 1, "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."

My maternal grandfather Lonnie Jackson was one of hundreds of thousands of Black men and women to serve this country, and countless never were appropriately thanked for defending it. Will it change? Maybe one day. Enjoy this fantastic thread and these pictures. 🙏🏾✊🏾💪🏾

@GiraffeProject7 @historyinmemes It’s sad that we need a Hollywood movie for people to know of him, become interested in him and ultimately research his work and his views.
He created and opposed something which can destroy humankind. Certainly he deserved recognition all along, long before media resurfaced him.

I will remember Tony Bennett joining the March from Selma to Montgomery for Voting Rights in 1965. He performed, under the threat of violence, for those fighting for their rights. Harry Belafonte asked him to join the movement. We lost both of these icons months apart. God Bless
