Hidden Whaling Museum....sorry had to do it. It was harder not to.

Nah but seriously, it never amazes me our history all over that's been covered up, hidden, lied, lost, etc.

A Canadian coworker once gave me a book about black ice hockey players back in the day in Canada who were very good but you know the usual story, faced massive racism.

We need more scholars these days to find out these stories and bring them to light. My fear is there are lots of stories that will die with many of our elders.

They also had an exhibit about Paul Cuffe. Foundational Black Americans built this country. We need to get our reparations for the stolen labor and contributions our ppl have made.

Visited a Whaling Muesum in New Bedford. I saw old photos of Black sailors everywhere. Moby Dick should have been completely Black....

These Supremacists are lazy liars. They make us do all the hard work, then take all the credit. I've seen it playout my whole life. I'm tired of it.

Yeah. The Lighthouse and US Life Saving Service were both precursor to the modern day USCG. I only know that because I was once a Coast Guardsmen.

They hide this stuff, down play it or flat out play dumb. They prefer we only be Slaves or peasants.

This link includes a video discussion & images. According to the dates the brothers were doing this work for quite some time as a part of the US Life Saving Service. Submerged NC: North Carolina Life-Saving Stations Pictured in Black & White | Office of National Marine Sanctuaries
