In this place called Tobacco Road
1619
The White Lion takes the first group of Black slaves to a colony in Virginia
Over the next two-hundred-fifty years
Twelve million Africans were captured and transported to the Western world
Through Civil War, reconstruction, Jim Crow, and a Civil Rights Movement
The stench of racism pervades American institutions still
Through systemic discrimination, legislation and violence
This year is no different
