[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Slavery is white history. How we survived it is Black history.” The words make an important distinction about how the history of slavery is often taught. Enslavement was not something Black people created or chose for themselves. It was a system built, enforced and profited from by people and institutions that turned human beings into property and made racial inequality part of law and society.

But Black history cannot be reduced to what slavery did to Black people. It also includes what enslaved Africans and their descendants did in spite of it. They preserved families and traditions, created new cultures, practiced their faith, learned and taught one another, resisted their enslavers and built communities under conditions designed to deny them control over almost every part of their lives.

Resistance took many forms. Some escaped slavery through networks of assistance or created independent Maroon communities. Others organized revolts, secretly learned to read, preserved African traditions, negotiated for greater control over their lives or simply refused to allow slavery to completely determine who they were. Survival itself required extraordinary adaptation across generations.

That distinction matters because Black history is much larger than suffering. The history of slavery must be remembered in all its brutality, but so must the people who survived it, resisted it and created lives beyond it. Their story is not only about what was done to them. It is also about what they built, protected and passed down despite everything that was done to prevent them from doing so.

Family these are two veterans and they also run a farm in Colorado. And they are being viciously attacked by the white supremacist and the white community and the authorities do nothing to protect them.. they need our support.

Love that Taylor Townsend has a Ben Crump Law sponsorship on her clothing.

It's also a great time to remember that we have not forgotten about Nolan Wells.
