Lent begins in the Byzantine Church on Pure Monday, really with Forgiveness Vespers on the afternoon of Feb 15th, since we celebrate the vigil. I'm planning not to be here much until after Pascha.

Most people are taught a very simple story about American slavery.

But history is messier.

Anthony Johnson, a Black man from Angola, arrived in Virginia in 1621 as an indentured servant. He gained his freedom, became a landowner — and in 1655 won a court case to keep his

Black servant John Casor as his slave for life. This helped set an early legal precedent for chattel slavery.
In 1830 there were 3,775 free Black slave owners holding ~12,760 enslaved people.

Did you know this part of the story?
Does it change how you see the “simple” version we’re usually taught?

Facts > slogans.

@fwmarqix I did the same when I was diagnosed as diabetic the day my state shut down. I went through my food and asked a neighbor if she'd do me a favor and take 3 bags of food. She told me later I was God's angel; she needed food and had no child support just then, ex lost his job.
