It wouldn’t matter if the enslaved got a PhD in whatever field they were TOLD to study, they still had no rights to choose where they lived, where they could go or even whether or not their children were taken from them. The whole idea and how Florida or anyone else wants to portray slavery as something helpful is disgusting. That parents are okay with their children being lied to is inconceivable. “Let’s not call them slaves, let’s call the unpaid workers,” is insane. Let’s call it what it is, feel the shame of it, and vow to never let it happen again. Thank you for writing the truth that people need to know.
