My grandfather is also deceased, but he was a sharecropper and he used to tell us the craziest stories. As a kid, I thought he was just making stuff up, but my dad's dug up all the historical records and DNA tests etc., and it's like LOL it's all fr, y'all. The Dirty South was wild.

Hard to imagine. Things have changed so much.

I do think it's weird how US black history skips straight from the Civil War to MLK Jr. Nothing happened, for over a century? 🤔

Sort of the opposite way that German history be like, WWII... more WWII... also Hitler... and here's a recap of WWI... ending in WWII. Yo, Germany has been settled since the Paleolithic. I'm sure that there was _something_ going on. 🤦‍♀️
