Major issue to discuss and continue to uncover. We commend Caroline for her brave reveal of the grossness and shameful reality that we must address. Most African Americans and enslaved people can trace their lineage to Caucasian ancestors where there was rape, sex exploitation and murder. This conversation must be faced and continued. How did the wives of these men accept the atrocities of casting out their husbands offspring, and selling their own flesh and blood? This is America's shameful history. America needs to face these facts to move forward to heal.
Per Caroline Randall Williams, When the Times published my essay, “You Want a Confederate Monument? My Body Is a Confederate Monument,” I hoped that it would open, or even change, some minds.
