Who Owns History? (Sticky) 0

Update: I’m going to stick this at the top of the page for a while. Unstuck.

Chauncey Devega of the We Are Respectable Negroes blog wants to purchase a bit of history.

It might be more accurate to say “ransom,” rather than “purchase”:

I have received some supportive emails regarding my suggestion that we pool our modest resources in an effort to buy some of the “collectibles” from the Transatlantic Slave Trade and centuries-long slaveocracy here in the United States that are for sale on Ebay.

I am leaving the fundraising widget up for a month. Hopefully, if enough of us throw in one dollar, a quarter, fifty cents, or the like here and there, we can make a go at this on a small scale.
