Are We Really Free, Black America?
OUR VERY FIRST EPISODE! OH SH*T, LET'S GET IT!For our first episode we are going over the 13th amendment, and it's a special one, because this amendment is still affecting our communities today. We will go through a timeline of the 13th amendment, and finish up with how it is currently affecting us.And, of course, I really want an answer. Are we REALLY free, Black America?DISCLAIMER: Now understand me, I am giving you this knowledge so you KNOW what we are up against, not to entice harm, but only conversation. These are just the facts. I do NOT believe everyone in the “Justice system” is particularly bad or good, but I believe it's best for us to know our own rights and history so we are prepared for anything.Links provided below:https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/13th-amendment-constitution-united-stateshttps://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt13_1/https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured-documents/emancipation-proclamation?_ga=2.181081703.1731760824.1658685063-539613644.1658685063https://westportlibrary.libguides.com/ThirteenthAmendmentLoophole#:~:text=States%20put%20prisoners%20to%20work,%2C%20but%20prisoners%20didn't.https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/thirteenth-amendmenthttps://www.history.com/topics/black-history/black-codeshttps://www.sentencingproject.org/criminal-justice-facts/Black Codes | Encyclopedia.comhttps://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?psid=3179&smtid=2#:~:text=In%201883%2C%20about%2010%20percent,came%20from%20this%20same%20source.https://eji.org/news/history-racial-injustice-convict-leasing/https://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/race_and_ethnicity/
