Like you, I wish she never wore that dress. For me, this shows the damage that a purely capitalistic system can cause. When profits are all that matters, human suffering is just not important. So many people toiled as slaves just to make white southerners rich. They still benefit from this generational wealth. Thanks so much for sharing this story. Hidden history like this needs to be told.♥︎
