"The white man who begins by cheating a Negro usually ends by cheating a white man. The white man who begins to break the law by lynching a Negro soon yields to the temptation to lynch a white man. All this, it seems to me, makes it important that the whole nation lend a hand in trying to lift the burden of ignorance from the South." ― #BookerTWashington #BlackHistory

"One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him." — #BookerTWashington #BlackHistory

A lie doesn't become truth
wrong doesn't become right
and evil doesn't become good
just because it;s accepted by the majority.

ChatGPT knows more about slavery in my home town than I do:

The salt industry played a significant role in Kanawha County's economy during the 19th century. Salt production was labor-intensive, and enslaved individuals were often employed in the salt furnaces and mines. Salt was a crucial commodity for preserving food, and the industry thrived in the Kanawha Valley.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
