The Dark Side Of Black History
When we learn about black history in school, we learn about the great leaders from a dark time in American history, but we don't realize how that dark time came about. In this story, I will tell you how slavery in America began and the unique facts you never learned in a history book. Would you be shocked if I told you there were black slave owners in all of the original 13 colonies? Would you be surprised if I told you the first indentured servant to turn into a lifelong slave was the property of a black man? Would you be amazed to find out that he won this right to enslave the first American against the wills of his white neighbor in the court of law?

For Your Eyes Only
The year is 2020. The world has gone to hell in so many ways I can't even see the bottom of the handbasket it came in. We have a new President everyone loves, yet this pandemic is forcing us to all become the shadows of our former selves. We now have a new social score that determines whether we can get loans, order food, or even rent an Uber. This new hierarchy is becoming the complete path to my undoing. I chose the life of a journalist in a new world where journalistic integrity is a thing of the past, which is everything I learned to fight against. My name is Elliot Larkin, and if you're a victim of the social war we have going on, you're probably thinking I'm the worst person ever. Well, you'd probably be right, but you don't know my side of the story. I'm here today to explain my side, of the well-known (#canceled story of the century). You probably won't care what I have to say at this point, but this is my last chance to get it all out of my system before I cease to exist. Let me take you back to the beginning.
