I hate when people say slavery was 400 years ago. Slavery started 400 years ago. Slavery ended less than 200 years ago. Much less.
And I’m just talking about America, Brazilian slavery lasted about 20 to 30 years longer. 
As in we have colored pictures of former slaves.
As in we have radio audio recordings of former slaves.
As in you could type” former slaves” into YouTube and find about 12 authentic, different interview videos. 
As in the oldest person in America, who by the way is a black woman named Jeralean Talley who just died at age 116 would have been the daughter of former slaves if they hadn’t been born in the North. 
Olivia De Havilland died just this year, 2020. Her Gone with the Wind co-star Hattie McDaniel died at a very young age, but being the youngest of 13 siblings, had she survived to 2020, some of her siblings and her parents were born into slavery. 
We have broken audio recordings of Frederick Douglass’ voice for god’s sake.
Harriet Tubman died only 20 years before the full-fledged color picture existed. Meaning that adding color by professionals onto black-and-white photographs was already an established art.
Here, have a color picture of Harriet Tubman.
