It’s been a while since my last blog. I've been busy and trying to get away from blogging. I do enough writing and talking to do without blogging, but I
felt compelled to let my fingers do the walking once again.
First of all, let me explain. This blog is about the history of
slavery. I’m speaking about the history in reference
to Africans enslaved in America. It’s bad enough that people
descendant from Africa and Slavery are being wiped out or not recognized
presently. But to take us out of the
history books is a crock of Bull. My son
is soon to pass to the fourth grade.
My son is home-schooled and in the process of transitioning to
the fourth grade. I had noticed in his
social studies there were several pages in reference to the colonization of
America, indentured, servants, Inuits, and the massacre of the several tribes
of the “Native Americans.” There is a
very small section in reference to slavery.
Yes; I was appalled. How dare the
school system leave out such an important part in history? In case everyone has suddenly forgotten the
Africans and descendants of Africans endured over five hundred years of hard
labor without restitution. These people
are the forefathers of descendants from Africa that were stolen and placed in
America. If you are a person of color, you are a part of the reconstruction of
America.
Now, everyone is trying to remove slavery from the history
books. I give my son extra information
on a daily basis in reference to slavery. I also give him pertinent information
on how and why people are called Black and why people are called White. On Dark
Mantis Enterprises website, a person is featured in reference to people
descendant from Africa. What we call “Black History” is very much a part of
American history. Parents should demand that slavery be an intricate part of
student's studies through the entire school year. Thank goodness that I have the
mind, spirit and perseverance to teach my son the truth and tell him all that
was left out in his home-school social studies in reference to Slavery.
Do you talk to your children about slavery and what it did
and the full effect it has on the culture and society of descendants of
Africans today? If you don’t, you should
be ashamed of yourself. The Jewish community
discusses the Holocaust. Descendants of
Africa should talk about slavery every single day. There were several Holocausts that took place
since the first, middle and last passage.
If we are eager to teach about the colonization of America, let’s tell
the entire history such as facts without glamorization about slavery.
Think about it.
