I'm not sure who transcribe the interview but they did a very poor job at it.
>It was a good starting starting point for documenting the history of abuse
Starting starting point?
>then there’s a push in the early months of 1935 to get the legislature to pass a law that would transfer ownership of the house of information from being privately run to being state-owned.
I stopped reading at that point. The person interviewed is a student at Yale, so I'm going to assume she doesn't speak like that and that she knows the name of the institution she's being interviewed about..
>This interview has been edited for length and clarity
That would be my first thought as well. It's frustrating to see, because it's like why put all this effort into something just to mail it in for the most important part.
The article doesn't really talk about the graves at all, or how they died. It was 1870, and children died all the time of various diseases which would sweep through. But we don't know if more died than would be expected, as the article doesn't cover it.
If you read the transcript they're jailed for homelessness or "minor without proper care." Many should've been in an orphanage, instead of a place where black kids are forced to unpaid labor.
This isn't comprehensive, it's just some underfunded local radio station that assumes familiarity of a major story in the area. Google if you want context. Research remains to be done; a lot was just discovered per the first sentence
Bold if you to consider them as children. At the time it was common to think of them as lesser than animals. Even today many people like to reimagine Christianity as always never abusing kids in their care. When even today that is the norm across all religions in one form or another.
Just like the wording and splitting hairs over slavery in the US with the current Christian Nationalism movement. Historically many people would allow religion to over see care of "orphaned" children. These souls no matter what were disposed and forgotten about in some capacity. The rate of children deaths versus mass graves notwithstanding; does not denote any data of the plague or any medical answer implying innocence of the "caregivers".
The article does mention a kid being shot under the care of House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children. Merely stating it was an act of God; had no bearing on the use of force or what happened in actuality.
What we do know is that many people would fall over themselves to say it was unavoidable and not make any changes. To forget that the neglect ended with death and a Christian grave is the best they could ever get in this world. Which is the point of the article and the movement to examine juvenile system involving children and their caregivers. In any capacity.
Deleting the records and avoiding questions is what supporters of their ilk always maintain. It seems that your response is stuck on some idea that accountability is not for them to ever receive.
Thank you. I feel like I’m seeing comments that try to undermine or brush aside fairness, justice, and often even the truth because it doesn’t align with their politics or feelings. It’s disheartening.
Title of the article doesn't match the article, and leaves out the information people are going to want to know about based on the title. Why are there 200 graves? Well, this article doesn't begin to tell us.
This article discusses both the history of a "house of reformation" in Maryland and how that history is addressed and grappled with in modern Maryland. It dives into how researchers conduct their research into these sorts of institutions and what their legacy is.
Some of us are ethical beings and have the human capacity to feel empathy , to learn and actually want to help our fellow humans
Others are unethical , uncaring , unkind , ignorant and only want to hate and hurt others.
Which one are you ?
I am the first one - the morally superior - the righteous & enlightened -
I look down upon the decrepit unethical & hateful ignorant cretins
I step over them and want to spit upon them - but will waste my godly saliva on this waste …
We should caste out the second ones … they are the others - they are the wretched - they have no stars on their bellies and deserve nothing.
Banish them … let these sinners fend for themselves in the wilderness… and let none of us saints - gods chosen ones - offer them even a drop of water or a grain of bread.
The sins of their ancestors live on in their evil souls - you can see it in their eyes - their bloodlines are polluted
Their rotting corpses are not even worthy to enter our dogs mouths.
*What would Jesus do ?*
Divide society into 2 groups ?
One group being the morally superior & righteous
The other being the wretched inferior sinners ?
Compounded by the sins of the father & his father & his father - congealing into a black mass of evil.
The mass of evil is then shoved into the newborn infant upon taking his first breath in this world -
Let us tell the infant he was born as scum on day one — he is one of them - born from them.
Let us all join into tribes based on perceived ancestry & perceived level of sin & righteousness

Some of us have the capacity to regret and learn from these things and move forward with a resolve to make things better.
Others would try to repress the information cos it makes you not look good.
Which are you?

Do we all have to choose and label each other ?
Idk … sounds pretty Old Testament to me…

Jesus literally talks about dividing people based on whether they were righteous or not.
