1/2 It's time to normalize the term Civil War Drama for all films set during this time period in America INCLUDING ones that center the lives of Black folk under the yolk of chattel slavery. Sit with that for a minute.

2/2 The term #slavedrama shows the inability to process and understand that Black folks descended from enslaved Africans are American. Citizens since 1868. Also some vocabulary to boot #formerlyenslaved #freedmen #freedwomen #freedpersons #decolonizeyomind #men #women #people
