That’s always been the most dangerous thing, right? That’s why it was illegal for us to learn to read and write. States particularly tightened the education noose on Blacks after Nat Turner’s Rebellion, out of fear. Even states like Mississippi, which had already had law forbidding slave education, passed a law that required all free Blacks to leave the state, in fear that the free Blacks would teach/incite the slaves.

Whites feared that if their slaves learned to read and write, that they would no longer listen to what they say. They also didn’t want the Black slaves to ever get the right to vote.

However, as we all know, Blacks did gain literacy from a variety of ways, many in secret. It was impossible to keep Blacks from literacy. First, with the comings and goings of slaves on plantations, there was bound to be a few literate slaves on each plantations, particularly big ones. Those literate slaves would often teach the other slaves how to read and write. Also, many teachers began secret schools that taught slaves how to read and write. All of this was, of course, extremely dangerous.

And, if you know your history, you’ll know that the status quo to keep Black people uneducated never changed (and if you don’t know. ask yourself this.. when would that status quo have changed?)

prettygirlfood:

Arugula Salad: Mango, Macadamia, Avocado

1 large mango, cubed
1 avocado, diced
3/4 cup macadamia nuts, roasted/salted
5 cups fresh arugula

optional add-in’s: sweet onions, diced apple, diced pineapple … more

dressing (or use your own recipe):
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp agave syrup
pepper
dash garlic powder

Directions:

1. I made a quickie salad dressing out of a few of my favorite flavors. Whisked it together and tossed it with the salad ingredients - except the arugula!

2. I tossed the avocado, mango and nuts with the salad dressing - then poured it right over the greens. I didn’t toss the salad together until we were ready to serve the salad. Otherwise the arugula would get quite soggy.

3. Top with fresh black pepper! Serve!
