life
Slavery and sharecropping were basically the same
This torture didn’t end until the 1960’s, so it’s still embedded in our DNA
That rage, fear, and hopelessness, never quite went away
Through centuries of bondage and terrorism, we somehow managed to survive
Human beings bought, sold, bred, beat, and slaughtered like cattle, we rarely experienced hope or pride
We prayed to God for freedom, but when it never came, we weren’t surprised.
