I will look back in the Nineteenth thread for it. OK, I see it now. I'm gonna watch it later. In the video they are wearing the purple shirts.

Black Israelites marching? they are an active hate group. https://youtu.be/Oq1hC1WF9QQ?t=16 There was a misstatement of fact in the news story. She says the last slaves were freed on June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas. That's not true. The last slaves freed were actually in New Jersey in 1866. Quote New Jersey slaveholders didn't give up this bounty lightly; the state was the last in the North to outlaw slavery. Even when legislation was finally passed in 1804, "freed" slaves were required to serve lengthy apprenticeships, which weren’t much different from slavery, according to the Princeton and Slavery Project. The last 16 enslaved people in New Jersey were not freed until 1866, when the state reluctantly ratified the 13th Amendment. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/essex/montclair/2021/02/28/american-dream-paramus-nj-part-north-jersey-slavery-legacy/4212248001/ Edited June 24, 2023 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
