After reading The Black Calhouns I wanted to list all the violations of Constitutional rights that have been brought upon blacks since the end of the Civil War.

Researching this blog I learned a little about why slavery and the social construct of racism developed strongly in the USA from the founding of slavery in 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia.
