Today is another great day and as we continue our Black History Month celebration by providing tidbits or information nuggets. Our intent is the share information which celebrates African-Americans contribution to building our nation. As a diverse company, we take great pride of celebrating all cultures and our goal is not to be controversial or provide opinion, etc. .........even though that's the spirit of Blogging. Our basic our aim, in particular with our themes of highlighting various cultures is to share SOLID KNOWLEDGE that hopefully will aid your quest of learning something that perhaps you never knew, or reminding you of things you may have forgotten, but more important get you to think and engage.
Anyone familar with Dred Scott?
While most acknowledge Africans in America started organizing labor to help build the country, otherwise known as Slavery, the issue reached a high point with the Dred Scott Case, which challenged America that All men were equal. The result of the case........known as the 3/5's compromise essentially defined Slaves such as Scott as Three - Fifth's of a Man. Throughout the years this case is taught in most schools and universities as a primary benchmark of the racial divide in America.
