Slavery in the US lasted 246 yrs. Enslaved African Americans worked 10+ hrs/day in dangerous conditions & often worked 18-hr days in peak cotton-picking & sugar harvesting seasons. The psychological & economic toll of slavery still has modern-day consequences. #400YearsLater https://t.co/e88Yt7v0Uc — PolitiTweet.org
