Day 5 of our countdown to America’s 250th 🇺🇸

Theme: Democracy & Citizenship

We are American Freedmen. This nation would not be the democracy it claims to be without us.

We built schoolhouses when the law forbade our literacy. We organized, marched, and bled for a ballot that was ours by right but never ours by practice. We have held this Constitution to the light for over a century and a half, insisting it mean what it says — for every American, not some.

From Reconstruction courthouses to today’s polling places, we did not simply ask for freedom. We expanded it, for everyone.

This nation’s success was built on our labor, our sacrifice, our unrelenting demand for justice. That is a debt owed. #ReparationsNow

America250 Countdown – Day 3

The Lineage, Equity & Advancement Project (LEAP) commemorates America’s 250th anniversary by honoring the American Freedmen whose labor helped build the nation’s wealth.

From cotton fields and railroads to skilled trades, industry, and entrepreneurship, generations of American Freedmen created immense prosperity that transformed the United States—yet were largely denied the opportunity to inherit the wealth they helped create.

America’s prosperity was built by many hands. Justice requires acknowledging that history and addressing its unfinished debt.

The wealth they created transformed America.

America250 • Day 4: Innovation & Genius 🇺🇸

For 250 years, American Freedmen have shaped this nation through innovation, brilliance, and perseverance. From groundbreaking inventions and scientific discoveries to schools, businesses, agriculture, music, engineering, and the arts, their genius helped build America’s prosperity—often while being denied equal opportunity and the wealth their contributions created.

The story of America is incomplete without acknowledging the descendants of U.S. chattel slavery who transformed hardship into progress for the entire nation.

Recognition without repair is not justice.

As we commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, we also call for lineage-based reparations that honor the unpaid labor, stolen wealth, and enduring contributions of American Freedmen.

America’s progress includes their genius. America’s future requires justice.

California is now recognizing Black American lineage in government employee data. How? By allowing public employees who are descendants of people enslaved in the United States to self-identify on official state hiring forms.

How did we get here?

A recent timeline of legislation:

2022: California recognizes Black American lineage in state law written @cjecofficial

2023–2024: The State updates its employee forms and HR systems.

2025: SB 515 written @cjecofficial extends the changes to ALL California cities and counties

January 1, 2027: Cities and counties must complete implementation.

Why it matters

• This recognizes Black American lineage. Black Americans are a foundational American population with a unique history and relationship to government.

• Better data leads to better policy. More accurate workforce data helps identify disparities, measure outcomes, direct resources and informs better decisions.

• If you can't see us, you can't serve us. Black American Californians are counted as the distinct population we are—not hidden within a broader Black/African American category.

@NAACP We need American Freedman sports leagues across the board. NFL, NBA, NCAA, down to Pop Warner, so we don’t have to deal with this.
