Transcript: This Black man's land was stolen and turned into the Business Administration building at the University of Alabama, Huntsville. And the well he had in his backyard that provided everyone in the area with fresh water is now a parking lot.
The family of Willie Jones wants justice, and they want their land back. But the university wants to offer an apology and a plaque. But that ain't enough.
Let's talk about it.
And the 1950s, the land that Willie Jones had contained a house and a well. He was graciously known in his community for providing fresh water for his neighbors. Around that time, the city of Huntsville traced a clean water source to Willie's home, and they wanted it. So in 1958, the city of Huntsville offered Willie $900 for the portion of land that included the whale. That's only about $9,000 today.
So, of course, Willie was like, “Nah, you can't have my land.”
So in typical white supremacist fashion, they condemned the land and considered it uninhabitable and unsafe.
Since he wasn't able to live in the house at that moment and still needed to provide for his family, Willie began sharecropping at various homes in the area. One particular place was described as a house in the woods. And while they lived in these homes, they never received any mail from the city.
At the same time, the city was actively attempting to confiscate the land that Willie still owned. Now, that land is this, and this right here, too.

Willie Jones' descendants need justice. So share this, sign the petition, and stay tuned for part two.

RFK Jr. is taking the side of Confederate statue worshipers. He really doesn't like the removal of monuments to a treasonous and pro-slavery entity called the Confederate States of America.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denounced the removal of hundreds of Confederate statues and other monuments across the United States after the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020. In a podcast interview that aired live on Friday from the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, Mr. Kennedy, an independent candidate for president, portrayed the removal of statues honoring the Confederacy as “destroying history,” echoing similar comments made by former President Donald J. Trump in support of the monuments. [ ... ] Statues and other monuments glorifying the Confederacy were erected — most at the height of the Jim Crow era — as part of a movement to advance the Lost Cause myth, which in various iterations depicted the Confederacy’s rebellion as a noble defense of Southern values or falsely asserted that the Civil War was fought over “states’ rights,” not slavery. Many of the monuments also distort history by portraying Black Americans as loyal to white Southerners in their enslavement.
This puts RFK Jr. on the same side as Donald Trump.
Trump equated their removal to “changing history” when he defended some participants of a violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, who had gathered to protect the statue of Lee that was later removed. Mr. Trump later resisted efforts to rename nine southern Army bases that had been named for treasonous Confederate generals who fought against the U.S. Army.
President Biden has taken the opposite view, saying that such monuments have no place in 21st century America. Biden is the only candidate who stands against traitorous racists.
As a candidate in 2020, President Biden supported the removal of Confederate statues, as well as the renaming of the Army bases, which was ultimately carried out during his administration.
By coincidence, today (May 29th) is the birthday of the late President John F. Kennedy. JFK would be ashamed of his idiotic anti-vax, pro-Confederate nephew.
In 1963 President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard to assist in the integration of the University of Alabama – the last segregated state university in the US. Alabama's segregationist Gov. George Wallace physically stood in the door to block two black students but gave way when confronted by the federalized National Guard.

That evening, on 11 June 1963, the president addressed the country on the topic of civil rights. Here is how historians now view the events surrounding that day.
youtube
Gov. Wallace went on to run as a third party candidate in the 1968 presidential election. Of course he didn't win but his presence in the election helped to elect Richard Nixon who gave the US the Watergate scandal and the invasion of Cambodia.
RFK Jr. is a lot more in the tradition of George Wallace than John F. Kennedy. Don't be fooled by RFK Jr.'s family name; most of his siblings and cousins have denounced him and declared their support for the Biden-Harris ticket in 2024.

If I had a nickel for every time I'd been rooting for a red team to beat an orange and blue team, I'd have two, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
