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.
In Damn near every aspect we have been either directly involved or intentionally hidden on the fringes, Whaling industry, Hidden Colors & if I can find one, will post a pic of all black mid 19th century Life Patrols headquartered along the coastline of NC. Great post 🔥Visited a Whaling Muesum in New Bedford. I saw old photos of Black sailors everywhere. Moby Dick should have been completely Black....

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