Rosewood, Florida was a thriving town with a bustling economy. The population was 95% black and most of its residents owned their owned homes and businesses. That was until a married white woman slept with a man who wasn’t her husband, and told the town it was a “nigger”. #BHM

@TheDiplomat13 @GloriaDea @notcapnamerica Not just movies. Video games generated more revenue than Hollywood & Music combined in 2022. I’m working a RPG set in 1927 Harlem during the Jazz Age & Harlem Renaissance. It’s positively criminal Black kids aren’t taught about Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington or Bessie Smith.

@TheDiplomat13 @notcapnamerica I grew up in Florida in the 70s. We were not taught this in school at all. It's been racist since LONG before DeSantis.

@baronessslacker @notcapnamerica I’m from Florida originally and I never heard about this story until the John Singleton movie came out. I felt absolutely cheated that we were never taught this as school kids. The difference is that it’s now a felony to teach this. How is that even possible in 2023?

@TheDiplomat13 @notcapnamerica Gov DeSantis is not trying to stop this from being taught. Stop watching CNN.

@LightenUpHoney @notcapnamerica Actually removing books pretty much makes it harder to teach kids about Black History. You need to pay attention

@TheDiplomat13 @notcapnamerica And educate ourselves so at least OUR children know. I've lost hope in yt ppl to do anything to facilitate real change in this country
