For over 400 years of bondage:
We begged in protest, yet you still killed us
We marched in peaceful protest, yet you still killed us
We created our own communities, yet you burnt it to the ground and still you killed us
We sent our leaders before you in peace, yet you killed them and still you killed us
We took a knee in peaceful protest, yet you still killed us
We begged we cannot breathe, yet you still killed us
If you still do not understand the Black experience in the United State of America and around the world, I have compiled a chronological list of movies which takes you from the 1700s to the present. I hope this playlist will help enlighten your understanding of the Black struggle.
When you have finished watching, help us answer, what must the Black community do differently?
