They sought out help from abolitionists who would help them learn to speak "proper english", would urge them to go to church, adopt new trades and even get married. These abolitionists were helping the runaways become more "white" because they knew if they kept their culture they would be caught and sent back to the plantation.

David Walker was a black man who wrote An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World, in which he combated the idea that Black people were made to serve White people. The two men met and used eachother´s influence to create more abolitionist ideas and discredit slavery. ]]> 2020-11-05 15:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/894443850 sscialdone https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/894523028 Phillis Wheatley was a creative intellectual that was so brilliant that white people could not believe it. She was purchased by the Wheatley family, she was never a working slave, and she was homeschooled. She was an excellent poet who was smarter than 18 of the smartest men in America. Phillis Wheatley proved that people of color are not any less intelligent because of their skin color. ]]> 2020-11-05 15:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/894523028 rmsmith5 https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897597975 A slave revolt was planned by the Prossers in Virginia. Though it did not end up happening because the plans were found out, it would've been the biggest slave revolt in North America at that time. Showing the willpower all the enslaved people could hold when they banded together. ]]> 2020-11-06 14:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897597975 sscialdone https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897877709 In June of 1845 Frederick Douglass published The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. He gave a firsthand account of slavery and all of the horrible things slaves went through. His narrative became very popular and his idea was not only to show horrors of slavery but maybe to gain some white sympathy.]]> 2020-11-06 15:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897877709 rmsmith5 https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897891756 This was a narrative written about a particular enslaved woman who was very bold and unashamed of who she was. She was said to be the kind of woman who would stand up in a room full of white people and declare her humanity. This is especially remarkable because at this time, that was basically a death sentence. Her influence inspired a White writer to go on to write a book highlighting black stories. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897891756 knewvine https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/897926890 In August 1791, almost half a million slaves in Haiti rose up against French rule. It was the first and only slave revolution that led to the establishment of a slavery free state. It came a symbol of freedom for slaves and inspired slave rebellions for years including the Prosser Rebellion (Reynolds 61-62).

The NAACP wanted to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights for black people. The NAACP was very successful throughout history for example it played a major role in the victory of the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

She traveled the world, was a professor at UCLA and was a very successful author as well. She was similar to Phillis Wheatley in the way that she proved to the people of America you didn't have to be white to be successful and intelligent. ]]> 2020-11-12 15:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916802556 rachelkittell https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916840790 The historic Brown vs Board of Education case shook the world of education in 1954. It was ruled unconstitutional to segregate schools due to a child's race. This can be looked at as a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because black and white children were now getting an equal level of education. On the other hand it can also be viewed as a racist movement, claiming children of color need to be integrated into a white school to get a "proper" education. ]]> 2020-11-12 15:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916840790 sscialdone https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916900733 In 1966 two men named Huey P.

The attack was filmed by a man named George Holliday. This caused an outpouring of people, black and white, demanding change. What stands out about this is the saying "history repeats itself". It is not 2020 and we are experiencing the same brutality, the same cry for change and the same civil unrest. ]]> 2020-11-12 15:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916925754 rachelkittell https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916966516 The Cosby Show was a famous American sitcom consisting of an upper class, stable black family. The show was looked at as fun and light hearted but in reality, it had a message behind it. Basically, if a black family wasn't like the Huxtables: rich, family oriented, loving, kind, then they weren't worthy of having anything. The black families who didn't resemble the "perfect American family" portrayed on The Cosby Show furthered the point of black people being "subhuman". ]]> 2020-11-12 15:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/916966516 sscialdone https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/917900489 Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the most influential abolitionist novels ever written.

However, I personally strive to be someone who is known to be understanding and accepting of all regardless or race, class, or background. I think as a person of color myself it gives me insight into the fact that we all come from different walks of life, so simply just not being racist isn't enough.  I do my best to educate people on things like this and really help them to understand the actuality of what being antiracist is. I don't see it as being a nonobjective third party that simply doesn't participate in racism, but someone who actively uses their voice to speak against it within their community in any way they can. ]]> 2020-11-13 07:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/knewvine/f3g3pt4dszn5h0jc/wish/919432084
