There are hundreds of these mass graves across the South. It’s astonishing that so many people still react as if it’s a surprise, or as if the discovery of one more dumping ground for black bodies is a shock. This was routine—for decades & decades. This is why #blacklivesmatter
The human remains found in Texas barely scratch the surface of this American nightmare. This is what neo-slavery looked like in 100’s of forced labor camps across the South as late as the 1930s. Thousands lost will never be found. SlaverybyAnotherName.com.

In @AnotherSlavery, I wrote that “death was everywhere” in hundreds of forced labor camps. The names of thousands who were tortured, burned, whipped and starved to death are lost, but not all.
