      That's True!! South Jersey Reach All To Way To The State Of Delaware State!! Only Being Separated By The Delaware River!! I Do Believe That The Slaves Was Transported Through The Delaware River!! Onto Southern New Jersey!! ( To Keep The Quaker's & The Freedom Fighter's ✨ From Philadelphia, Pa. Knowing What The Slave Catcher's Was Doing!! Knowing That Philadelphia Are Against Slavery!! So They Took Delaware State Route!! To Cross The River Into New Jersey Soil/With The Slaves ).

    I am sorry to admit that growing up off of caldwaldewer and Pennington over by the old school, the tone was still there. Coming from my parents generation whereas i was down in the patch getting knowledge from the elders of the lodge and building something, my parents generation gave up and left us here to rot.

    Although I knew of slavery, I did not know of the horrific history of the slave trade and treatment of the slaves. The horror of breeding farms at the hands of slave owners. The photos of the KKK and THEIR CHILDREN in white sheets and pillow cases, proudly watching lynchings and professing Christianity. This history needs to be acknowledged. Thank-you.

    I'm appalled at what I missed in school, that was never taught, never. The times, they have a changed.

      You should contact your school & ask them why. And ask them if they've changed the curriculum to teach true history.

    Thank you. All my early education was in northern NJ. Slavery was portrayed as something far away from us. Not true

    As Morgan Freeman states, there's no such thing as African-American History. It's American History, PERIOD.

    What’s this business about “enslaved people?” Why two words and four syllables when one is precise and piquant?
    Are you trying to say “their bodies were enslaved, but not their minds?”
    That said, good documentary despite the PC language.

      A person is person. We should see see them as that first. A slave is an object and we can ignore them as being a person. It's like the parable of the "Good Samaritan", Names can blind us.

    So I should notice every black person I see and do what exactly? I think equality is ignoring them along with all the other stranger I avoid on a daily basis.
