Another reason why we should take full advantage of every opportunity to learn and be our best selves. WE owe it to the 20,000 lives that were sacrificed for our right to be educated. #hbcurising #HBCUs @StanleyNelson1 @IndependentLens
Between 1866 - 1872 approximately 20,000 folk were lynched in the South in pursuit of education and freedom.
