Who set them free and fought for their right to be free. Abe was white, Kennedy was white. Without the “white folk” it would not have happened. That is the truth and that is never told....so who is the racist here. Many in my ancestorial tree fought on the union side including quakers who convinced Abe slavery was wrong based on the bible, all are created equal and free. In the 60’s many college students risk their lives and died for the cause yet they are never remembered, mentioned during the month that should recall history the way it actually was.
