The British brought slavery to the New World and Americans ended it roughly 230 years later. Every black person descended from slaves owes a debt to their ancestors’ struggles.

It’s been nearly a month since my last update on my adventures of going maskless, and with good reason: Not much has changed. Until now.

The US Constitution is under attack. The numbers show it. In the last 6 months, it seems that a ‘process’ has been kicked into overdrive to completely subvert the American way of life.
