It's Time to Face
the
Whole Truth
about
Slavery In America
"Failure
to educate all Americans
about the whole story
of Slavery
has divided our nation
and undermined our
civic unity
and belief in the
historical legitimacy
of our
democratic institutions."*
*To paraphrase Sheldon M. Stern,
an Educator who designed the first
Civil Rights Exhibit at the
John F. Kennedy
Library and Museum in 1977.

Did you know
that the First Official
Slave Owner
in America was Black*?
In 1651, Anthony Johnson owned
250 acres, and the services of four white
and one black indentured servants.
Did you know
that Africans that came
to America would have likely been killed had they
remained in Africa?
Over 20 million Africans were captured by other
Africans to sell into slavery. Of that number,
over 10 million died on their way to be sold
on the African shore. Those not sold
were kill by their African captors.
Did you know
Africans became rich
selling other Africans
into slavery
and controlled the
African slave trade?
..."Slavery was not completely foreign
to Africa because the institution already existed
prior to the arrival of Europeans. Ultimately, it
does not seem possible that the Transatlantic
Slave Trade would have existed on such
a large scale without the complicity of the
powerful African Nations that dominated
the African interior and benefited
from the Trade.

Did you know that a large percentage of Blacks*
Owned Slaves?
"...the percentage of free black slave owners
as the total number of free black heads of
families was quite high in several states,
namely 43 percent in South Carolina, 40
percent in Louisiana, 26 percent in
Mississippi, 25 percent in Alabama
and 20 percent in Georgia.

Did you know
that White* People also
suffered from Slavery?
“Who wants to be reminded that half — perhaps as many as two-thirds —
of the original American colonists
came here, not of their own free will,
but kidnapped, shanghaied,
impressed, duped, beguiled,
and yes, in chains? …we tend to
gloss over it… we’d prefer to forget
the whole sorry chapter.”
Quote from an article by Elaine Kendall

on September 1, 1985
Do You Know Why
Young Americans
Need To Know
These Facts About Slaverly?
Did You Know
That Race
Is Not Real!
It Was Simply Made Up
To Divide Humans
And Justify Slavery
If You
Did Not Know
These Facts,
Ask Yourself
'Why'?
Politicians and Opportunists
Have Promoted Racial Division
Over The Years
To Gain Control,
Wealth
and Status.
Much Of What
We Americans
(Black* & White*)
Have Been
Told and Taught
About Racial Division
in Our Nation
Has Been Misrepresented
And Revised to Promote
Our Division as A People.
As A Result, Today,
We All Stand Divided
In Civil Conflict
At the Threshold of Decline
As A Prosperous and Free Nation.
Our Adversaries,
Such As China,
Grow Stronger As We Grow
Weaker From Internal Division.
Eventually,
If We Do Not Change,
We Will All Be
United and Equal
In Poverty and Despair.
The purpose of this website is to point out misinformation and misconceptions used to divide us as Citizens and encourage all citizens to focus on the postitive aspecs of our history and all that we have gained together over the years rather than be manipulated by false information promoted by thoes that would divide us.
"All American Citizens must unite
to survive as a nation and meet with an attitude of reconciliation looking to the future and not dwelling on the past."
