UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY
You're probably wondering what the United Daughters of The Confederacy have to do with Black History of melanated people. Well, absolutely everything. These women engineered the narrative of "The Lost Cause" which was a movement they pushed for to give the South a more complimentary appearance towards the American Civil War. They authored every inch of history within the American textbooks. They were responsible for a generation of lies. They said slaves loved being in slavery. In their minds, slaves loved their slave masters, and they were treated quite well. The United Daughters of The Confederacy were a group of pro slavery, elite white women that stated the war wasn't about slavery. They love to sing those broken lyrics that the war was about state's rights. Not at all! Which was pure fabrication. It's because of these lovely women, Tom Hanks recently stated he learned about the Tulsa Oklahoma Riots of 1921. They edited that kind of rich history out of their textbooks. They didn't leave Chris Columbus out! Christopher did not discover America. The Indigenous people were already living in America. They haven't fully corrected this lie. The United Daughters of The Confederacy was all for Jim Crow and white supremacy. The presentation and preservation of their men who fought in the war was their number one objective. Of course, monuments of confederates were everywhere in the South because of these clever women.
The United Daughters of The Confederacy wouldn't dare share stories of black men like Emmett Till or George Stinney in their textbooks. How can people that write textbooks, make judicial decisions as judges and in our criminal justice system be in those roles when they cannot be impartial due to their bias? They (UDC) didn't even want to acknowledge the melanated men who fought side by side in the American Civil War. They did a lot of damage to melanated people and their communities. This is why you have to ensure you and your kids search for your history. I should have been taught who Selma Burke was when I was a little girl, but I wasn't. Teach your family who she was! This is why the fight for social, economic, and racial justice is still a battlefield.

"NOBODY'S FREE UNTIL EVERYBODY'S FREE."
Why does this resonate so well in 2022? Take a wild guess. Any time you seek to kill, steal, and destroy the history of others, those people are not free! This is why this so-called replacement theory of European men is debunked. They are so used to being in control of everything. If they feel like a corner isn't theirs any- more, they panic. European history hasn't been tampered with. They're the only dominant history in America. They want everyone to learn about the European history. This is the residue from the Daughters of The Confederacy.

The sad part about this is, it's 2022 and they are still lying about the truth. Now, we know about a lot of truth. Now we tell our own stories and history.
