It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.

Decades later, the Meahers built a paper mill on the shores of the bay snugly next to Africatown and Plateau (neighborhood above Africatown). It was great for the residents- they had jobs again, a steady source of income that they’d pretty much never experienced. However, years of left-over chemicals and toxic waste from the mill have caused skyrocketing cancer rates, and the average life expectancy of residents is age 65. The paper mill is no longer in use, and the Meahers took the easy way out by bulldozing the mill instead of following state/government protocol to shut it down safely. Of course, the Meaher’s lawyers are protecting their millions of dollars while these poor people suffer. They were stolen from their homes, enslaved, and have known nothing other than poverty. It blows my mind how people can ignore the socioeconomic effects of slavery to this day.

I’ve always wanted one of the girls to do this and I finally got my wish 😭
