I think that we’re under this constant pressure to achieve success in our twenties because, as women, our youth is seen as our prime but there are so many women who go on to do great things later in life like Ava DuVernay didn’t pick up a camera until she was 33 and now she’s in her 40s and her career is just beginning her next feature film has a budget of over $100 million
Yep. Human zoos were a thing. Not only in America, but in a lot of countries in Europe. Matter of fact, it was Europe that started the terrible exhibits back in the 1800s, then New York started having the “zoos” in the 20th century. Over 28 million white people would go to these “zoos” to see hundreds of black and indigenous people as a “major attraction”.
People who suffered in these zoos might still be alive today.
Do not let this be lost in history.
This is absolutely horrifying, and to make it even worse, this is the first time I’ve even heard of it. The levels of sugarcoating and erasure of racism in our history books is staggering.
