    Land given to them in a land grant= stolen after genocide and land theft of indigenous people. Built wealth on tobacco= sat down while african slaves built their wealth. Stop glorifying these kind of people.

    As a distant cousin, I am inspired by this cause and this story. It was the Civil War that caused a rift among some brothers in Maryland, and my branch descended from the ones who believed in the Union cause. Even in my line the names Francis and James continued, which is interesting, because it was a Francis who first settled in Maryland from England-probably York-in the 1600’s. I will look for the foundations website. I would like to do what I can.

  • @rev.stevekepiscopal2668

    Black neighborhoods have more crime. It's a problem with the culture. Blacks and whites have different cultures. Let them both have their own spaces and stop forcing integration. Problem solved! We can all live in this world however let people feel comfortable in their own natural habitat! Everyone is better off that way. We have learned this more post pandemic.
