Over the weekend, we rallied in D.C. to defend Black history, art, and culture. Black history is American history, yet it faces relentless attempts to be erased. We must continue to resist and stand up against attacks on racial justice and democracy. #HandsOffOurHistory

Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan on the red carpet for Sinners.
Black culture is American culture.
LDF stands with the African American Policy Forum's #HandsOffOurHistory initiative to defend our history and our stories.
If #Sinners reminded us of anything, it’s that our voices and perspectives matter — and we won’t be erased or silenced.

"PAINFUL AS IT IS TRUE" Slave Auctions at the Exchange If you looked out this window before 1856, you wouldn't see a tree, bench, or parking lot, but a very different scene. This ares, loosely bounded by the Exchange building and Gillon and East Day saceis mus one orine mos, common destinations for downtown slave auctions. Slave sales here and elsewhere in Charleston increased in the nineteenth century as cotton agriculture spread west. More and more, slave traders exported people from South Carolina to work on plantations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Texas Though private slave sales then and before were probably more common (and had the same tragic outcome for enslaved people), the spectacle of the slave auction put slavery's inhumanity on full public diplay Read these quotes and try to imagine what this place was like for the people here then: those sold, and those selling, buying, and watching
Shackles
Race and Revolution African Americans and indigenous people were caught between an empire and a rebellion during the American Revolution. At the onset of war, the majority of South Carolinians were enslaved African Americans who could not freely choose a side. South Carolina's laws also limited choices for non-whites who were already free, whether they were African American or Indigenous. It was unclear whether a British or American victory would mean better circumstances for people of color and their families.
In 1860, the four million American Slaves were conservatively valued at $3 billion. That sum was almost three times the value of the entire American manufacturing establishment or all the railroads in the United States, about seven times the net worth of all the banks and some forty-eight times the expenditures of the Federal Government. From the book Slavery and Public History, the tough stuff of American memory edited by James Oliver Horton & Lois B. Horton.
