I am sorry to admit that growing up off of caldwaldewer and Pennington over by the old school, the tone was still there. Coming from my parents generation whereas i was down in the patch getting knowledge from the elders of the lodge and building something, my parents generation gave up and left us here to rot.
Although I knew of slavery, I did not know of the horrific history of the slave trade and treatment of the slaves. The horror of breeding farms at the hands of slave owners. The photos of the KKK and THEIR CHILDREN in white sheets and pillow cases, proudly watching lynchings and professing Christianity. This history needs to be acknowledged. Thank-you.
I had no idea Princeton University was originally named The College of NJ. We all know Trenton State was renamed to The College of NJ. Interesting. Great lesson.
So I should notice every black person I see and do what exactly? I think equality is ignoring them along with all the other stranger I avoid on a daily basis.
What’s this business about “enslaved people?” Why two words and four syllables when one is precise and piquant? Are you trying to say “their bodies were enslaved, but not their minds?” That said, good documentary despite the PC language.
A person is person. We should see see them as that first. A slave is an object and we can ignore them as being a person. It's like the parable of the "Good Samaritan", Names can blind us.
They would have used the native American Indians has their slaves but many native American Indians died of chicken pox and small pox so there wasn't enough of the native American Indians to be used has slaves.
Excellent history report, and I agree should be in our American history and taught in all public schools. Thank you
YES I agree totally and it should NEVER be FORGOTTEN

I know a family in New Brunswick with the last name of Prim. I wonder if there’s a connection to Mr. Prime.
I'm appalled at what I missed in school, that was never taught, never. The times, they have a changed.
You should contact your school & ask them why. And ask them if they've changed the curriculum to teach true history.
You didn't miss it. They never taught anyone this so very important history!
That slave spirit sit heavy on new jerseys I felt itvthe first time I visited

Thank you. All my early education was in northern NJ. Slavery was portrayed as something far away from us. Not true
Bergen county was raw. Dey mansion in totawa had slaves until the 1880s
Let's work together and compare notes because obviously they are not matching up

As Morgan Freeman states, there's no such thing as African-American History. It's American History, PERIOD.
Morgan Freedom is wrong

How does this coincide with American Idian history?
