Two days before #BlackHistoryMonth@GovKathyHochul announced that New York secured $183 million for Holocaust survivors and their heirs.
Slavery didnโt end in New York State until 1840. Black people were raped, murdered, lynched, brutalized, dehumanized, and held as property for 221 years.
The Holocaust was in Germany, not New York.
$183 million for Holocaust survivors and their heirs andโฆ
$0 in reparations for the descendants of Black people who were enslaved in New York State for over two centuries.
Happy Black History Month!
