Convict Leasing, Forced Labor, Theft of Black Wealth: The Case of the Chattahoochee Brick Company

(Sat Sept 4, 12 PM ET) A Special IBW Labor Day weekend video premiere - Convict Leasing, Forced Labor and Theft of Black Wealth: The Case of the Chattahoochee Brick Company
Background:
The Chattahoochee Brick Company was a brickworks located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta, Georgia. The brickworks, founded by Atlanta mayor James W. English in 1878, is notable for its extensive use of convict lease labor, wherein hundreds of African American convicts worked in conditions similar to those experienced during antebellum slavery. It is speculated that some workers who died at the brickworks were buried on its grounds. The brickworks was discussed in Douglas A. Blackmon's Pulitzer Prize-winning book Slavery by Another Name, released in 2008. The property ceased to be an active brickworks in 2011.
More info to come.

James 5:1-5
1Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you. 2Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire.
You have hoarded treasure in the last days. 4Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
5You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter. 6You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.

This "witchcraft" you call is traditions brought over from enslaved africans during the slave trade. You should be fortunate this wasn't beaten out of them.
