How Freedom Was Taken, Not Given

Comrades & Fellow Travelers,

When the Civil War is discussed, it's done so in the context that the Union "saved the slaves" and "liberated them from bondage."

In this edition of the Poethinc Justice Podcast, we discuss why that narrative is pure horse crap.

Feel free to respectfully leave your thoughts on today's subject in the comment sections below.

One Love & One Justice,

The Stormy Poet

✏️Greetings, Family, Comrades, and Fellow Travelers,

✏️My pen name is The Stormy Poet. I'm a published author, educator, and literary enthusiast.

✏️I created the Poethnic Justice Podcast because I believe literature has the power to transform society and that it's a powerful tool against the system of racism/white supremacy. Science shows the practice of engaging in literature, daily--reading and writing--expands our capacity for empathy, enhances our creative brain, sharpens our investigative skills, and increases our ability to think critically. It's these kinds of qualities that are instrumental in combating the inhumanity, barbarity, dishonesty, and low-level thinking systemic racism produces.

✏️Poethnic Justice is a space that utilizes the power of literature against injustice. It is an audio and visual extension of the written social commentary of my Eye Wall platform (https://thestormypoet.medium.com), and I use a combination of self-voiced commentary and audio overviews of the essays I compose.

✏️Thank you for taking time out of your day to tune in. If you've found what you've heard to be enriching, informative, practical, and empowering, please consider purchasing some of my published works or making a financial contribution to this platform (any dollar amount). This type of media only exists because of you, The People.

✏️Also, you're welcome to view my free audiobook on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast. It narrates a practical solution on how black people and those willing to pick up the fight alongside them can effectively and completely eradicate systemic racism/anti-black white supremacy from society: Code of Conduct Suggestion Guide for Surviving, Comprehending, and
