An interview with Harvard University-trained public defense lawyer Bryan Stevenson on racial trauma, segregation, and listening to marginalized voices.
Bryan Stevenson’s comments in this interview are in alignment with the themes of BAMBOOZLED.
Alongside slavery itself, the trade in human beings generated enormous profits. Its end, 150 years ago this week, must be remembered.
It is critical to confront our past honestly.
This project will help us face and understand our past, critical to our future.
The meaning of the Confederate flag is best discerned in the words of those who bore it.
“in 1861, when the Civil War began, the Union did not face a peaceful Southern society wanting to be left alone. It faced an an aggressive power, a Genosha, an entire society based on the bondage of a third of its residents, with dreams of expanding its fields of the bondage further South. It faced the dream of a vast American empire of slavery.”
Racial categories are weak proxies for genetic diversity and need to be phased out
According to geneticists and DNA experts, the idea of “race” is a con. Race was constructed to uphold and justify white supremacy and racist structures.
“Racism,” on the other hand, is very, very real.
From King George III to Saddam Hussein and beyond, world history has been littered with the remnants of shattered statues.
Removing Confederate monuments is a first step. How do we dismantle other racist structures in US society - the justice system, prison system, housing and neighborhoods, the schools, hiring practices, and more?
MSU, supported by nearly $1.5 million from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will create a unique online data hub that will change the way scholars and the public understand African slavery.
Good news for people seeking information on their enslaved ancestors.
“You know,” artist Sonya Clark says, “the beautiful thing about human beings is that we do have this ability to find ourselves in one another, if we are willing to do the work.”

After the Charleston killings, the confederate flag was removed from state grounds across South Carolina, and this weekend white supremacists will hold a pro...
You still have people who are unwilling to lay down their prejudices.”
The City Council voted Wednesday to sell two public parks to a private entity, clearing the way for the statues’ removal.
A smart strategy: sell the public parks to a private non-profit and then remove the statues immediately.
The law provided slaves with virtually no protection from their masters. The punishments used against slaves judged to be under-performing included the use of the whip. Sometimes slave-owners resorted to mutilating and branding their slaves.
Bamboozled mentions the practice of white “owners” branding enslaved people with the white people’s initials. This was common practice in US slavery.

Perhaps the most significant reason why the FTP staged so many con artist plays was because they provided the FTP another opportunity to comment upon the socio-economic issues of the Depression. In part, this is because the character has long afforded artists and writers to note, as Gary Lindberg argues, that “the boundaries [of the social structure] are already fluid, [and] that there is ample space between society’s official rules and its actual tolerances.”[14] In particular, Help Yourself and The Milky Way illustrate the long standing intersection between the con and capitalism...
Note: For those who are wondering about the retro title of this black history series, please take a moment to learn about historian Joel A. Rogers, author of the 1934 book 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof, to whom these "amazing facts" are an homage.
General Sherman’s promise of 40 acres (the mule came later) meant a radical redistribution of land to formerly enslaved people. The promise was never kept.
If you can't annoy somebody with what you write, there's no point in writing.

Most European colonial economies in the Americas from the 16th through the 19th century were dependent on enslaved African labor for their survival. In a second excerpt from Jubilee: The Emergence of African-American Culture, Howard Dodson looks at how slavery gave the United States a role in the global political economy.

How the intersection of the Industrial Revolution and brutal slavery in the United States led to global economic leadership for our country.
