In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is time to tell the story.

THIS POD IS BEAUTIFUL 💚💚💚

I've head the book since it dropped so now I have to read it and if the book is a reflection of this pod in any way, BOOK GOLD!!! I LOVED the story of her uncle and the story about music *chef's kiss*!!! All the stories, truly & the story about the farmland in Louisiana had me in tears. WE NEED MORE STORIES LIKE THISSSSSSS. Thank you 💚💚💚.

Great historical journalism

Excellent summarization of how the systems that built 250 years of slavery still drive our societal structures today! Compact but comprehensive series. Tells a true American history in an interesting, story telling way. Everyone should listen and absorb this; understanding our history will allow us to build a better future!

Amazing journalism of a sad but most be told history

Thanks for your work. A brilliant account of just some of the realities of what it means and has meant to be African- American. Watching all the Hulu episodes now.

We are asked by KDWB to post five or so blogs each week, starting with our Weekend in Five Pictures posts. This week, we on the show agreed that with all that happened this past weekend, carelessly posting a picture of us walking our dog or the dinner we made absolutely didn't feel right.

This is the first thing this week that I definitely wanted to post.

Some of these ideas may shock you. Some of them you might find a little extreme. But find a few that you can easily do. Easiest one? Tell your black friends that you love them. It'll surprise them and they'll probably ask if you're drunk for telling them out of the blue, but I'll bet it'll make you smile.

And challenge yourself not to just do the easy ones. Do a challenging one too. Or 6, or 43. And not just today, but regularly.

And I will include number 75 on the list: Credit Black men and women. Kara Springer, a black woman artist, created the image/public art that begins this piece. It's called A Small Matter of Engineering, Part II. Christian Campbell tweeted to ensure the art was attributed appropriately and correctly.

Here's a link to the entire article from Medium.com
