The Stolen Branch: Lost Black History
For centuries, the Black Community has been robbed of its History, Many can equate this to being robbed of your birthright. This began with the ushering in of slavery, to the stealing of inventions and ideas, until present day misgivings. These misgivings were perpetrated not only by plantation owners but by those who ran and kept plantations thriving. They would be called "Overseers." Overseers, who were given credit for the economic progress that each plantation would enjoy. The real economic progress was built on the backs of and by the hands of those who were less fortunate. They would be called Slaves. These are also the same people who built universities but were not allowed to be educated within. These were built for Caucasians. Truth be known, Caucasian people did not want the Black Community to get an education, they didn't even want them to learn to read.
