    Notice the census. Virginia was listed as B for black, but the narrator spoke she was a full blood cherokee. The census workers wrote down what THEY believed they saw. Believe your family when they tell you who you are.

    I’ve been learning more and more about Black Legends throughout history recently that I had never heard of before. It’s sad that the schools reduce Black historical figures to the same handful of ppl every year.. & now certain states don’t even want to teach about those or that slavery and the events that followed for Black America ever even happened. This stuff is so important and it’s unfortunate that some ppl, including ppl in power, feel otherwise.

    It's interesting how Mr Voorhees never wanted to set foot on the college campus yet and still still didn't mind contributing large sums of money, to a place he would never visit. Kind of makes you wonder if maybe underneath everything he might have still been harboring thoughts and issues regarding racism perhaps.
