Our queston of the day is: Is Ignorance The Problem Or White Supremacy ?
Today on "It's My House" we have a very special (law study group).........the Nat Turner 2015 vs Underground Railroad Law Clinic.
Nat Turner was a slave who started a riot, however it was not well planned with an "end game" in mind. It cost him his life as well as the lives of many others. Mr. Turner was basically LAW ILLITERATE. Living during the same time frame..........there where other slaves who found ways to become free by becoming LAW LITERATE and when they "applied" their knoweldge the found freedom. Many people (slaves and former slaves) became "law literate" or "legally aware" via the Underground Railroad.
Rioting is a REACTIVE way to protest. Becoming Law Literate is a PROACTIVE way to protest.
Benjamin "Paps" Singleton was a former slave who become "law literate" and became a land baron.
Some of the HBCU's Historically Black Colleges and Universities protested by establishing schools and universities.
