the Glory Child

A plantation that saw about 600 slaves in Thomas Jefferson’s lifetime. Men, women, and children all abused and worked to death never knowing freedom. A plantation that had infamously violent overseers. Women being subjected to rape so much that it was said these slave women (and young teenage girls) had higher fertility rates, when really it had more to do with the fact that they were forced to have sex often and at unthinkable ages with these pigs. 

Yes.

You guys, I reblogged this 2 days ago out of desperation. Today I was looking through my old wallet for coins to go to the vending machine because that’s all I can fucking afford. I haven’t touched this thing since July/ August. When I found a disappointing 15 cents in the coin pocket I went to the billfold to see if any coins were in there. That’s when I saw them. 5 crisp bills amounting to $22. I literally screamed and danced around my room out of joy before remembering that I’d reblogged this post.
