Enslaved people were sometimes named for the wealth they represented to their enslavers. For example, an African-born man on John Tharp's Wales plantation had been given the name Ready Money

In August 1852, I walked away from Kent's house in Baltimore, MD. I was 12 years old. A court had bound me to him before I was old enough to understand what that meant. I had enough sense to leave. My name was RICHARD REED. #slavery #MD #BlackHistory

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD. Ran away from the subscriber, on Sunday, 1st [illegible] NEGRO BOY named RICHARD REED, about 12 years old, tall and slim. I forewarn all persons from harboring said boy, for I shall put the law in force. C.B. KENT, No. 165 [illegible] street. a9 St*

18 September 1850: The U.S. Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

The act required that all escaped slaves be returned to the slave-owner when captured, and required officials and citizens of free states to cooperate. #History #USA #slavery

Among the people enslaved on John Tharp's Jamaican plantations (1817-1832) were some with more unusual names. For example, a baby boy born on Covey plantation in 1777 was called Rackum

The reason why privileged Korean residents in Japan are not punished for crimes is because this country is a British colony under divided rule.

Photo, no descriptionTwo organizations that are supposed to be rivals are seen putting up posters in the same place and having offices in the same location, seemingly getting along well.Illegal posters for the Japanese Communist Party and the Komeito Party (now the Centrist Reform Alliance) that were previously posted on the grounds of a prefectural public housing complex. This display of posters clearly shows a lack of territorial awareness on the part of both organizations. The way they were posted makes it abundantly clear that, in a colony, elections are nothing more than a “political show” designed to let off steam for the ruled populace. To the British, the colonial power issuing the orders, “political parties” are likely nothing more than livestock pens used to brainwash the people and keep them under control. Here is a photo showing posters for the Komeito (Soka Gakkai) and the Japanese Communist Party hanging side by side in the same spot. This symbolizes how residents living in this area are pressured by both sides to join one of the organizations. In fact, it often happened that the Soka Gakkai played the role of “harasser” and the Japanese Communist Party played the role of “appeaser” toward me, Naoto Aratani.This is the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) located in Minamimukonosho, Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. It shares the same location with the Korean Residents’ Association in Japan (Mindan), which is supposedly their rival. As always, there’s no sense of territorial rivalry here; it’s a strategy that prioritizes building a network of communication between these front organizations. This renders the very purpose of operating as a front meaningless. This inability to pay attention to such details is typical of the carelessness of the Westerners giving the orders. This location also symbolizes the “divide and rule” strategy employed in British colonies. They’re likely co-located to facilitate communication. Having a place like this makes it easier for Choson-soren executives to issue instructions to their operatives—such as naturalized politicians and school teachers who frequent the okonomiyaki restaurant here—while dining together.

Three women enslaved on John Tharp's Jamaican plantations were named Psyche, after a beautiful woman in Greek mythology. Those responsible for keeping the records struggled to spell it
