Happy Juneteenth! I love learning, but the history of American slavery and its deeply-rooted connection to modern life has been watered way down. This is why I created the audiovisual #JuneteenthSyllabus. It’s a list of podcast episodes (organized into a downloadable Spotify playlist), documentaries, YouTube videos, and recorded interviews of people who were formerly enslaved. 🎧 I wanted to hear storytelling from smart people about lesser-known but historically accurate events & people connected to American slavery—like: ⭐️ Ona Judge, who was enslaved by George Washington and outsmarted him and his family to get her freedom ⭐️ Benjamin Montgomery, a formerly enslaved inventor in Mississippi who became one of the wealthiest planters in America (of any race) ⭐️ the +50 all-black towns in Oklahoma in the mid-19th century that had black oil barons, entrepreneurs of all types, and more concentrated wealth than many white communities only a short period of time after 1865. Black Wall Street was a MINDSET. ⭐️ Past and present black entrepreneurs who have innovated and thrived despite the odds If you want to get the syllabus, text JUNETEENTH to 864-651-9920 and I’ll send it to you. ❤️🖤💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoUdyDlmIq/?igshid=18bo91go7au63
