Reposted byU.S. Representative Al Green

This Day of Remembrance, we recommit ourselves to the fight for justice, equality, and civil rights.
To maximize profits, many slaveholders gave enslaved people only the bare minimum of food and shelter, forcing them to work from sunrise to sunset. A system built for exploitation and minimal care. 183 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Enslaved people endured unimaginable suffering in the brutal Atlantic Slave Trade, facing deadly diseases and inhumane conditions. These hardships cost countless lives, leaving a legacy of pain and resilience. 185 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
