Mi Primo

 

No, "See you later,"

only time to remember,

each time we bonded.

A man took your life,

some stupid explanation,

too quick consequence.

Happy Garlic Day!

Celebrating today one of the most versatile delicious food plant ingredients of all time. It's notorious in pasta dishes and almost every sauce for various plates. Its medicinal property is antibiotic and its strong aroma can carry like the scent of an onion without the crying unless you eat it raw. Which, by the way, is very good for your health.

I've added the dried ground seasoning as well as pieces of it inside of my soup for lunch. How will you enjoy your garlic today?

Facts About Lynchings:

• According to NAACP records, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the U.S. between the years 1882 and 1968.
• Not just African Americans were lynched, but Latinos/Hispanics, Native Americans, and those who are White were also lynched too. Race intersects with the other identity demographics like gender and age to be included in these lynchings as well.
• Most sentences carried out for lynchings, if there were any, were wrongful allegations and nonsense, such as robbery and asking for a drink of water.
• White children were included in the lynch mob audience watching African Americans struggle during their hangings and African American children were lynched too.
• At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL, there's a section that was nicknamed as the "wall of tears" that had this inscription: "THOUSANDS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE UNKNOWN VICTIMS OF RACIAL TERROR LYNCHINGS WHOSE DEATHS CANNOT BE DOCUMENTED, MANY WHOSE NAMES WILL NEVER BE KNOWN. THEY ARE HONORED HERE." (Why Did They Hate Us?)
• Before, during, and after the executions, the slaves were also tortured by stripping, burning, beating, muzzled, etc.
