History doesn’t have to be deleted to be useless.
It just has to be simplified enough that people can’t connect it to the present.
That’s how power protects itself.

RAN-AWAY FROM the subscribers, on the night of the 14th inst., at Cedar Creek Mills, eight miles Northwest of Fuller's old stand in Washington county, a negro man named Cyrus. Said negro is about 25 years old, 5 feet 11 inches high, heavy stout built, black, quick spoken and rather polite when addressed. Had on when he left a dark kersey monkey jacet and striped hickory shirt, but took with him two or three suits of clothing, among which was a black or dark colored cloth frock coat; other articles not recollected. The boy Cyrus was brought from Alabama by a Mr. Moore to Texas and may try to get back to Alabama, though he is a shrewd fellow and may attempt to make his way into Mexico. A liberal reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery of said boy to us, or for securing him in some jail, so that we get him. Address J. L. Farquhar, at Washington, or William H. McCutchen at Long Point post office, Washington county, texas. March 20. FARQUHAR & McCUTCHEN.

In March 1852, I fled Farquhar's plantation in Washington County, TX. They thought I'd head back to Alabama, but I had other plans. Run south, cross Rio Grande, towards Mexico where I can be free. I packed three suits. I was ready. My name was CYRUS. #slavery #TX #BlackHistory
