Even better: the US Army remade the laws of war for the modern world in reaction to the Confederacy's white supremacist decision to execute Black soldiers rather than treat them as prisoners of war. Seriously. That was the reason.
THIS IS AWESOME! John Legend, who is a native of Springfield, Ohio asks his neighbors to love their Haitian neighbors:
“They are hardworking, they're ambitious, they commit less crime than native born Americans.”
He also argues it’s the Christian thing to do:
“How about we love one another? I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”
What a powerful message. Thank you John! 💙
