316. Abby Phillip was right to correct the record on Slavery and we can't let Trump deny it!

Last night on  @CNN  #abbyphillip started her segment with a factcheck about Slavery, including playing a recording of a formerly enslaved person. We cannot let #jillianmichaels, #scottjennings, #donaldtrump or anyone else deny what little history has been taught. It used to be taboo to platform #holocaust deniers but now many are popular. Now the same thing is happening (again) with Slavery and we can't allow it! #trump #abbyphillip #cnntonight  @NMAAHC  #africanamericanhistorymuseum Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmbwB4hhJoY STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com __ Dr. Omékongo Dibinga is the UPstander.
