Just stumbled on this Anti-Slavery Constitutional Amendment Picture, ca. 1865. Thought today was a great day to share an image of white men abolishing slavery arranged in a shape Georgia O'Keefe would recognize.
Happy 4th! Burn the white supremacist heteropatriarchy!

Some of them did it for the right reasons. Some did it for the wrong reasons and likely foresaw the Jim Crow south. Still, thank god it was done and god bless those who fought to end the torturous terror that was chattel slavery.
Yeah, truly don't care about the motivations for people who pass laws that help people anymore. Do the thing. I don't care why. Just do it. Work out your moral compass on your own time. Better more people in it because everyone's humanity matters. But more useful action > more actionless good intent
