        These people weren’t “slaves.” They were kidnapped Africans. “Slave” is a legal/social status that erases the humanity of those who suffered bondage.

        Don’t tell @realDonaldTrump. That is one memorial he’ll want to take down.

        Well intentioned, but historically inaccurate. At the time of burial they were still property.
