This metal was used during the slavery period for 3 main reasons;
1. Sometimes the slàve màsters would forced an apple (a whole) into the mouths of enslaved before they wore the metal mask on them with the padlocks so that they couldn't talk.
2. To stop the enslaved from chanting our African spiritual songs. Not only that those our spiritual and war songs affected the slàve masters, it also motivated some enslaved to rèbel and fight back!
3. Last but not the least, to starve enslàved as a punishment in the slàve camps. The màsk prevented them from eating or drinking!
Gone but not forgotten!💔
A Black man tried to vote in Florida, so they erased his entire town.
Ocoee, Election Day, 1920. Mose Norman showed up to the polls and was turned away. That night, mobs attacked the Black side of town. July Perry was lynched.
Homes and churches burned. Ocoee's Black community fled — and the town stayed essentially all-white for decades.
All because one man tried to vote. We documented it in our book, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For. Get yours with the link below https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

“Having been there for Jordan and having been here for LeBron…”
“Michael Jordan, to me, is the superior player.”
“He was the more significant figure.”
“If you think you’re right, that’s cool.”
“You’re not changing my mind about this.”
“There is no angle that you have that I will not think that I have thought of.”
“What you don’t have is what I need you to have.”
“I need you to have been here for this.”
“You just can’t.”
