My mother was born in '44. When I became an adult AND educated myself, I finally understood why she had a chip on her shoulder. And also why she moved us to Hawaii. Thanks mom! R.I.P.

[@lifelove6164]

Not a chip but the white man's foot was on her neck ....as the great Malcolm X said

[@garyjohnson8327]

​@lifelove6164 yeah Twice as many White sharecroppers and just about as many Whites lynched. Don't be scared of books.

Yes this is an amazing story. I'm black and I live in Missouri and have never heard of this it's so crazy that will not talk this in our history books. They don't talk about it in black history month seems our African American history is a little whitewashed leaving out details of important events.

Carol Anderson (born June 17, 1959) is an American academic. She is the Charles Howard Candler professor of African American Studies at Emory University.[2] Her research focuses on public policy with regards to race, justice, and equality.

[@s1234pro]

Great story and told so well! Loved this.

[@GrinnolaAlum]

Thanks to professor Anderson for a brief and informative description. I have begun reading the first of two books I purchased on Rev. Whitfield he worked with my grandfather in St Louis on a political campaign and rally to address the Howard Lynching. He is one of those men who devoted his life to addressing inequality but sadly is not as well known as others who did less.

[@kkmichelle314]

May I ask whts the name of the books? I live in St. Louis I've decided to start doing history in my own state it seems like I know more about other states than my own. Crazy

My great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the Bootheel. Similar to a sharecropper, their home was owned by the farmer and their groceries were purchased at his store on credit which was ran by his wife. The farmer's family would pass down their store bought clothes to my cousins. This was as late as the 1970's.

For context when she's talking about the sharecropper wage being 75 cents for 12+ hour workday in the 1930s - according to the US Department of Labor, the average US wage from 1926-1934 was 43 cents per hour. (Source: babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112032654953&view=1up&seq=934)
