Such An Innocent Sounding Word…Slavery

Thanks for this. There is much more unpacking to be done. But like trying to wash clean with dirty water there nay be limits to the clean that can result. Vocabulary is needed from only and purely the affected in order to properly define “slavery” no?
An innocent term indeed but has since become a way of life for many. We have learnt to not relate or even remember what happened even though we have been taught a version of it. But to just relegate it to yesterday and leave it there. So this word just roles off our tongue with no impact of its deep meanings and it’s connection to the instability of our communities has we know it. Remember the used to stamp the word Society on our predesesers with hot iron or so I heard.
