This quote was important to me because i know that whites had put certain boarders to keep us oppressed and to dominate our race.]]> 2020-11-23 16:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953022323 Naiya Bailey nmbailey2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953023500 “All along the endless carrier are ranged slave children, whose business it is to place the cane upon it, when it is conveyed through the shed into the main building,” wrote Solomon Northup in “Twelve Years a Slave,” his 1853 memoir of being kidnapped and forced into slavery on Louisiana plantations." This line was important to me because it emphasized the idea of the brutal labor that enslaved people had to endure when it came to the work they had to do to maintain these sugar crops.

But recently, historians have pointed persuasively to the gnatty fields of Georgia and Alabama, to the cotton houses and slave auction blocks, as the birthplace of America’s low-road approach to capitalism." This line was important to me because it showed how the South used slavery to build the America's economy. Even during and after slavery, African Americans were not able to get their rights or some sort of benefit for sacrificing to America.]]> 2020-11-23 16:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953032488 Cameron Griffin cgriffin141 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953032604 "They laid the foundations of the White House and the Capitol, even placing with their unfree hands the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol dome", I felt like this quote was important to me because it really put the icing on the cake. Yes the author was proven the same points in previous sentences, I just felt like this got the readers attention the most; they understood more and it made them wake up.]]> 2020-11-23 16:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953032604 Madison Stroter mcstroter https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953036809 “The use of enslaved laborers was affirmed — and its continual growth was promoted — through the creation of a Virginia law in 1662 that decreed that the status of the child followed the status of the mother, which meant that enslaved women gave birth to generations of children of African descent who were now seen as commodities. This natural increase allowed the colonies — and then the United States — to become a slave nation. The law also secured wealth for European colonists and generations of their descendants, even as free black people could be legally prohibited from bequeathing their wealth to their children.”
I think this was important because it talks about how slave masters kids get to own their parents slaves and they basically never escape being enslaved.

This line is important because it showcases how African Americans help build and shape our economy. Whites forcing us to undergo free labor was the beginning of generations of free labor in America for minorities.

They have been refined and whitewashed in the mills and factories of Southern folklore.." This line is important to me because i feel like all of our history should not be covered over to make it look better. I feel like we should learn our history for what is actually was.

Among black non -Hispanic women, they are nearly double those of white non-Hispanic women, and one and a half times higher fir black men than whites men. “ 
This is important because it shows how diabetes mainly targets black people compared to any other race.]]> 2020-11-23 16:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953046123 Serenity scott sscott431 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953066998 “Free black people posed a danger to the country’s idea of itself as exceptional; we held up the mirror in which the nation preferred not to peer. And so the inhumanity visited on black people by every generation of white America justified the inhumanity of the past.”-this line was important to me because it shows how the inhumanity put on us was never fixed and how it is still occurring.

I chose this because it highlights how inhumanely black people were treated and what makes it worse is that it was over sugar. Something so "sweet".]]> 2020-11-23 16:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/953076293 Stephon Stevens https://padlet.com/wvweaver/f9ultcco30us9t5i/wish/973285206 “Over the four centuries that followed Columbus’s arrival, on the mainlands of Central and South America in Mexico, Guyana and Brazil as well as on the sugar islands of the West Indies — Cuba, Barbados and Jamaica, among others — countless indigenous lives were destroyed and nearly 11 million Africans were enslaved, just counting those who survived the Middle Passage.”
