What states like Florida and Texas are attempting to do, by rewriting black history, is exactly the reason why historians, scholars and teachers, such as yourself, are needed brother Fordham. Peace and blessings.

Thank you so much. Just doing my part. I appeared on a radio show that appears on my channel from last week where I discuss this subject in greater detail.

I really appreciate your videos. The volume is kind of low for the listener

My apologies for that. Thanks for letting me know. But your support is appreciated.

About the idea that slavery provided some benefits: even hypothetically getting the best training in the world pales in comparison to having one's children taken away, never to be seen again. Why talk about "on the bright side of things"? These so-called educators need to imagine themselves in someone else's shoes just once in their lives.

Trust me, they would not say that if they had been their ancestors.
