In light of the erasure at the Smithsonian, let me recommend some books:
1. ‘Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl’ by Harriet Jacobs
2. ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass’ by Frederick Douglass
Both excellent, brutal depictions of U.S. slavery as it truly was, written by survivors.

In 1893, Frances E.W. Harper published ‘Iola Leroy’
Responding to books romanticizing the Old South, Harper’s main character, sold into slavery, passes as white, cleverly encouraging white readers to put themselves in the place of a slave. The book was a bestseller.

The official White House website is not capitalizing the “B” in the phrase “Black Americans”
And yes, the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) Style Manual says to capitalize ethnicities. #BHM
