If you agree that there’s too much emphasis on “how bad Slavery was,” this is not the place for you.
I have chronicled the terrible traumas that slavery inflicted on black people in what is now Wilson County. I will continue to do so. If you want the hopeful, positive, apologist, unwoke version of the history of American slavery, try the Smithsonian museums in about six months.

THE WHOLE STORY =
THE WHOLE TRUTH.
Thank you, LISA HENDERSON, for keeping on the lights so that we see better.
TRUTH comes to set the record straight……The WHOLE TRUTH, no matter how painful, eventually brings about PEACE… ……smothering truth festers and perpetuate sickness and eventual death of the human spirit.
The WHOLE TRUTH is not for the faint of heart , but IT IS for those who dare to choose to live and .let live.
ASHE!!
Keep up the work! We must NEVER forget our enslavement!
