🎪🗝🎡 @mzokhui @get_repost @tonylyfe Thank You for motivating me to look into this History deeper. ・・・ This was very sad... These twin brothers were kidnapped from Roanoke, Va and forced to perform in the circus which is now to this day known as "Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's "Greatest Show on Earth" 🙄. They were then labeled as "The white sheep headed cannibals form Ecuador" 😒 In 1927, the brothers were reunited with their mother. The Ringling circus came to Roanoke and Mrs. Muse tracked down her boys. The reunion was bittersweet, however, as she couldn’t keep her sons from returning to the circus. Mrs. Muse fought for her sons and their freedom, enlisting the help of a local attorney to sue Ringling for back pay and for keeping the brothers in bondage....I used to love the circus but after reading this I'll never go again😤 #interestingread #musebrothers #fthecircus https://www.instagram.com/p/Btl2td1h6Nv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ff7mypirqbz8
