On #NationalFreedomDay, I urge us to look toward the work yet to be done as we strive for true equity, and to remember that those of us whose roots are in the North are not exempt from recognizing that slavery is part of our history, too. #FreedomDay #LovePrevails #ShowSomeLove

National Freedom Day commemorates the date – February 1, 1865 – when President Lincoln signed a joint resolution that proposed the 13th amendment to the United States Constitution. The amendment was made to outlaw slavery and was ratified on December 18, 1865.

“Oh, Belle. Nothing in this world is free, not even freedom.” Freedom Soup apparently is something that slaves were asked to prepare but were never allowed to eat themselves, as the image above says. I liked how Belle‘s emotions were depicted here, but with just a single line that conveys outrage, shame, embarrassment. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-mHi
