This document right here is making me ill. I don’t know how anyone can read a report like this and not full-throatily advocate for reparations for Black U.S. chattel slavery descendants. @TheBlackCaucus @NAACP - y’all need to get it together.

“A federal official who traveled to southern states following the establishment of ADC reported that few Black families participated in ADC because of White administrators’ presumption that Black women should work in the wage labor force—unlike White women.” 
“Black women were often denied assistance and forced to work, even as White women were allowed to continue receiving assistance.”
While helping my niece w/ her middle school history essay on changing gender roles during the roaring 20s (ex. flappers, the woman’s fight to work outside the home), I had to explain to my niece that everything her teacher had taught her on this topic applied to white women only.
