Over 200 people were reportedly deported.

Yes, there were real issues to address with China, but Trump’s approach felt more like punishment than policy. Instead of building alliances, he picked fights.
Instead of vision, he played to ego. And we’re all paying the price. #USChinaRelations #TradeTalks #DiplomacyMatters

This is absurd and deeply offensive. Bearded belly dancers, a topless Netanyahu, and a golden statue of himself? Turning Gaza into a resort while ignoring the devastation and displacement is beyond tone deaf.This isn’t leadership.

Emancipation and the 13th Amendment
Imagine being told you are free, only to realize that freedom comes with conditions. Imagine hearing the words “slavery is abolished” but knowing that for many, chains would simply be replaced with new forms of oppression.

The Underground Railroad: A Path to Freedom
Imagine running through the dead of night, heart pounding, guided only by the stars. One wrong turn, one whispered betrayal, and you could be captured, dragged back in chains, or worse. Yet, thousands risked everything for a chance at freedom.

Resistance & Rebellion
Enslaved people were never complacent. They fought, resisted, and reclaimed their dignity in ways both seen and unseen. Some rebelled with fire and steel. Others with whispered prayers and quiet defiance.

The Auction Block and the Reality of Slavery
Imagine standing on an auction block, stripped of your name, family, and freedom, reduced to property. Enslaved people were bought and sold like cattle, their humanity disregarded. Families torn apart, dreams stolen.
