This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life. Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them. “Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”
Community note
This list is supposedly of enslaved people who "developed ... trades from which they benefitted" but nearly all of these people were either never enslaved, or never held the jobs described on the list. Some examples: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Cobb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_How… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_For… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Was… Here is a summary of the errors on the list: twitter.com/etotheipie/sta…
