Mapping Virginia's Slave Dwellings: Preserving Black History with Street View

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
  • In the Virginia state record, only 1% of documented historical sites are categorized as having any African-American historical significance. It’s easy to visit historic sites from the era of slavery and forget the enslaved men, women and children who built and maintained these places. Using Street View, Virginia Humanities has been collecting panoramic imagery of slave dwellings across the state for everyone to see. They hope these images will add to a more inclusive history of Virginia and helps us remember that enslaved peoples were integral to our country’s founding.

    I'd really like to know where in the hell they went to school that they think people were taught that slavery "wasn't that bad"?? We were taught the atrocities that those people endured and the utter brutality... the first time I was shown a picture of the kkk i was in third grade and it made my skin crawl. My school and teachers were brutally honest with us... we learned about slavery before almost any other history, and in my opinion that was the right thing to do.

    • @whitetig2

      You'd be surprised. In many schools, especially here in the U.S., slavery is downplayed and made to look as though Africans actually were not mistreated THAT badly and that some of them even loved being "helpers" and always pleasing their white owners. But you have to think of who was writing these books. They definitely added their own feelings and opinions within the words and it SHOWS. That's why I love that people are able to look up these things and are being taught to challenge history. Everything we were taught was NOT factual. Some of it just made certain people feel better about things.

    This is especially true in the south where textbooks were often donated by the organizations such as the Confederate Daughters of America. But even in the North though slavery was never talked about as a positive, Reconstruction was often given a once over and we learned terms such as “ carpet baggers”. But to actually go over Reconstruction would have gotten in the way of the general conversation about “ the Civil Rights Movement”. And it helped that was not considered a good President.

    Theres an old school house in halifax county that black students went to. I tried buy it but then i was told i couldn't cut the massive oak back from the house.Storm came threw an dropped one of the limbs right down threw the roof. When Chase City was called Christiansville back in the day. There were a lot of slaves there. Someone has collected a lot of information an documents on the slaves of that time. Wonder why so many folk's hold Lincoln so high. When he didn't really want to end slavery. Just slavery in the south.

    If folks want to understand that era more, they should read journals and diaries from that time. Writings that came straight from the people living that time. I’ve learned so much over the last 10-15 years from researching diaries, and it’s very different than “Hollywood” history lol. This tribalism type us and them mentality and grouping all people in with what some people’s actions is extremely ignorant and divisive, and unfortunate that it’s been turned into a political tool. We are all humans and all one race…….. human race. It’s we and us.

      It’s not about looking back or looking forward, it’s about acknowledging your roots and reflecting on how you ended up in a land that you weren’t invited to. This isn’t political, it’s literally just being human. Some African Americans can’t trace further than their great grand parents and can’t tell where they truly are from. No matter what success you achieve or reconciliation you come to terms with, there’s always an existential part of African Americans that itches to wanna know more and if you can’t relate to it, just kindly step aside and listen or turn a blind eye and keep moving. You trying to make it political isn’t cool.
