Hope you all had a solid, productive & educational #Juneteenth & #blackmusicmonth New official American Holiday but alot of Black people been celebrating because like alot of our culture that others dont understand bern erased,supressed,told wrong.Truth passed down through Generations of Black families/historians. Alot of people dont quite know the meaning & importance or dont care.Facts; - Enslaved Africans names are not "THE SLAVES" They were taken from African brought many places not just America but #chattleslavery was worst form, longest running most inhumane example, genocide. Stop addressing as "the Slaves" They had names , families,cultures,religions , languages ! Revisionist history named our Ancestors "The Slaves" - Black people in America are not all decendants of enslaved Africans.Many came from certain regions of Africa,some didnt survive #slaveships thru #middlepassage. 1st came to ports of South Carolina. Ive been to these ports while on music tours performing near where kkk rallys & confederate flags are proudly celebrated. Theres still alot of emotional trauma/baggage passed down In the south and in our famililies who migrated west during Great migration "out of 400 years of slavery" Still recovering from extended violence, racial laws, attitudes, jim crow,segregation,redlining,prison system,discrimination post slavery - Lincoln gets credit for freeing enslaved africans but was not totally for it. Much was polical reasons. #Slavery made America rich. While exploiting Blacks and making us poor for generations. When #emancipationproclamation passed took months for u.s gov to reach southern states by horse some reached during week of june in teens 13th,14th,15th,16th ,17th, 18th, 19th the exact day is different for each region However slavery and black oppression was far from over and continues to this day. We share some of Black experience that results from sad #AmericanHistory in @DLabrie Short Film 🎶📹 #StayBlackAndDie #LinkinBio #DLabrie #MrNETW3RK #RonDavouxRecords #happyjuneteenth #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2022 #BlackHistory #BlackMusic #BlackPower #BlackPride #BlackLove #BlackandProud #imblackandimproud (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfWC-9YvTay/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
