“You Can’t Erase Us From Memorial Day”

American Historians have been some of the greatest narcissist of our time, omitting, embellishing, even fabricating the contributions of Blacks, African Americans, People of African decent. And all the while, this country questions why melinated children fail in our schools, leaving an achievement gap that no one knows how to fill. Well in the words of the late, great, Bob Marley, “Tell the children the truth”. Give us our rightful place in history and show our faces and the roles we played. This is the first lesson, in my new book, “An End to the Uproar”. Share with your children today, while it’s relevant. This is a very important day in American History.

“The first Memorial Day was on May 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC by those that were formerly enslaved by our government, in the institution called American Slavery. American Slavery was a chattel system of bondage that held melinated people against their will for over 200 years. Well these newly freed people were inspired to pay homage to those that fought in the Civil War under the Union Army. The Union Army was more on the side to abolish slavery than the Confederacy. And Black people discovered that, 257 Union Soldiers had been buried in a mass grave on a Confederate Prison Camp. Over a 2 week span, Black Americans dug up the bodies of the Union Soldiers giving them a proper grave. Showing their gratitude for their bravery during the Civil War, Black adults and children, Missionaries and advocates then had a parade with over 10,000 present honoring the fallen soldiers. They decorated the new burial in which the tradition continued as Decoration Day. General John A. Logan was given the create for creating Decoration Day when in fact, Black Americans had celebrated it some four years prior. You can no longer erase us from history because Black History and American History are synonymous. ~ Dearest Price, “Tell the children the truth.”
