The things we forget...


This photo was found at a moving sale in North Carolina and it is a reminder that our history affected not only adults, but children as well. This photo, and the others in the album, are sure to start stirring up emotions and research among scholars of slavery and human rights activists as well.

I think that this will develop into a very interesting project if they proceed with the idea of creating a documentary film about the young man named John. The craziest thing is that they also had documentation proving the sale of John for $1,150 dollars.
