i learned last year that francis scott keys was a horrible human being. not only did he own other human beings, he used his power and his prestige and access to double down on legislation that kept us enslaved for generations. he sponsored his brother-in-law to become a supreme court justice who wrote the dread scott decision and says african americans can never be citizens. so he was fully invested in the business of slavery. monumental reckoning is the first 350 ancestors who came over here on the first boatload of slavery. the business of slavery. when they arrived in 1619, there were 21 on the boat. we will honor the 350 who were stolen from their people and their

i didn't learn about francis scott key until last year.that's part of the issue. we're not taught the history of african descendents to any depth of degree in our schools. and i'm a product of public education. and so what i do for a living is to put our memories and our histories and our stories out in the public realm because they're free, whether you're intentional about coming upon them or you come upon them accidentally. the learning is the same. and that learning is so vital to american history. i am so grateful to be able to participate in this because the impact of slavery on africa descent descendents is generationally. people say it was so long ago. but for me -- i'm 61 years old. my great grandparents were enslaved. my father's grandparents were enslaved. and so that history is not that far away, even though it looks that way on paper. the prints that held francis scott key existed in the park for a very long time, 133 years. and since 1976, or '77 -- '76, in its current location. even though francis scott key has been taken dow

for example, all school children learned the story of how francis scott keys watched through the night to see if fort mchenry would fall under the intense british bombardment. to which it was being subjected. when he saw the flag still flying in the morning, he knew that an important battle had not been lost and expressed this moment of hope and the triumph of faith in words that became our national anthem. the stories or images of the reverend martin luther king jr. giving his i have a dream speech or of the american flag raised over iwo jima or rosa parks refusing to move to a seat in the back of the bus are all moments and images to help define who we are. moments that exemplify our best and highest values and, thus, are potent symbols. the narrative of the stonewall uprising is a powerful story for a number of reasons. it seemed to come out of nowhere and was totally unexpected. it was a spontaneous event. totally unplanned and undirected. and it happened in a seedy club run by the mafia and the groups that first turned against the police were primarily effeminate boys who lived on
