A word from Dr. Joy DeGruy

This would be an inspirational story if it wasn’t for the active suppression that America was doing even as the French were designing the statue they originally gave her African features and shackles, but America didn’t want that image

Damn I was today years old.

Makes sense why she wears chains and shackles as a black New Yorker. I never knew this, even though we studied and research statue of liberty

My girl !!

Statue was a gift to celebrate US 100 yr independence and also slave liberation. It still does not feel good to have that chain under her feet, then weather beaten and invisible! As a black person it’s a reminder of where they think we should be. 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is false. The Statue of Liberty is bound in Chains! Learn history before you make yourself look stupid! By the way you can see the chains!
