What’s on the agenda for Jan 2023? Well, for one: Tax Law Considerations!

The task force has invited three tax law experts to provide expert testimony on the intersection between reparations and tax.

Timely considering this latest article from @business: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
One of the tax law experts the task force and members of the public will hear from is the formidable @GeorgetownLaw Law Professor, @DorothyABrown!

My 3x great grand parents, Victor Theophile Haydel (1835-1924) and Marie Celeste Becnel (1840-1885) were both born enslaved on the @WhitPlantation. The couple who would become the ancestors of the African American Haydel family. #DESCENDANTChallenge @Participant @HGMedia
“Victor was the son of an enslaved woman (Anna), who was herself a mulatto. Victor was fathered by Antoine Haydel, the brother of Marie Azelie Haydel. Celeste was a daughter of Francoise, the enslaved cook of Marie, and was fathered by Florestan Becnel, Marie’s brother-in-law.”
“It is known that each of these men was married, and that refusing to engage in sexual relations with a white man was not an option available to either of these women.”

#DESCENDANTChallenge

Honored to descend from such survivors: whitneyplantation.org/history/the-bi…

The Rise of the Lost Cause Myth (across U.S. + California):

“After Reconstruction ended, white southerners created the myth of the Confederate “Lost Cause” in order to downplay the horrors of enslavement and terrorize African Americans.”

#Reparations #ReparationsNow

(🧵⤵️) A crowd of European American Confederates gather around a to
“Southerners who opposed Black civil rights falsely argued that the Civil War had little to do with enslavement.

The Lost Cause myth claims that the Confederacy had fought a heroic war to save the southern way of life from being destroyed by the North.”

#ReparationsNow
“This untruthful history also claims that the Confederacy lost the Civil War only because the more populated, industrialized North overpowered white southerners, not because enslavement or the Confederate cause was wrong.”

The Destruction of Reconstruction:

“African Americans fought for and took advantage of many new legal rights during Reconstruction, but this time period of growing legal equality was short.”

A THREAD 🧵: 1/
“White supremacist terrorist groups, first the KKK and then later militias such as the White League of Louisiana and the Red Shirts of South Carolina, eventually overthrew the Reconstruction governments that Black and white Republicans had established together in the South.”

“White southern Democrats, who wanted to keep African Americans working on plantations and out of politics, retook control of the southern states.”

Today is the 212th anniversary of the 1811 German Coast Uprising, the largest slave revolt in American history!

My ancestors were enslaved on the @WhitPlantation (formerly German-enslaver owned Habitation Haydel).

The California Reparations Task Force’s historic interim report references a book on Habitation Haydel:

Ibrahima Seck, ‘Boule fait Gombo: A History of the Slave Community of Habitation Haydel (@WhitPlantation) Louisiana, 1750-1860’.

Did You Know?: “Enslavers who forced enslaved people to labor in agricultural production exploited not only their physical strength, but also their intellect, innovation, and skill.”

Growing rice and indigo for instance, required skilled labor and specialized knowledge! 🧠

“After the end of the Civil War and the outlawing of enslavement, the United States went through a process known as Reconstruction, a period of rebuilding and reuniting the country. Abraham Lincoln had begun this process during the Civil War.”

Learn more: oag.ca.gov/ab3121/reports Image
“But Lincoln’s assassination in April 1865 put Reconstruction in the hands of his vice-president, Andrew Johnson, and Republicans in Congress.

Johnson wanted to keep white people in charge of the South and opposed giving equal political rights to African Americans.” #Reparations ImageImage
Former enslavers refused to acknowledge African Americans’ new freedom. In every ex-Confederate state, white southerners passed laws called “Black Codes.” Black Codes included vagrancy laws that allowed police to arrest any Black person without an employer and force them to work. Image
