The Ground Beneath Our Feet Remembers
What if the distance between slavery and today could be measured not in centuries, but in a single human lifetime? Ruth Odom Bonner, who stood beside the Obamas at the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, was the daughter of a man born enslaved. This isn't ancient history buried in dusty archives-it's breathing, walking, living memory. The same Mississippi River that flows past New Orleans today once carried over one hundred thousand enslaved people after 1808, yet most tourist brochures remain silent. This silence isn't accidental. It's a choice we make about which stories to tell and which to bury. The question isn't whether this history exists, but whether we're brave enough to look it in the eye.
