Shanell Oliver on Instagram: "In seven Southern states including Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas prison labor is completely unpaid. Zero dollars. Not minimum wage. Not below minimum wage. Zero. And this week Louisiana just passed a law to make sure they never run out of workers. Louisiana passed a law making homelessness a felony. A first offense means 6 months in prison. A second offense means up to 2 years of hard labor. If you cannot afford your court mandated treatment you will perform unpaid labor to pay off your debt. At the same time the Supreme Court voted 6 to 3 to gut the Voting Rights Act of 1965, stripping Black voters of the last major legal protection against racial gerrymandering. Within one hour Florida redrew its maps to eliminate majority Black districts. They already have a place to put them. It is called Angola, the largest maximum security prison in the United States, named after the African country enslaved people were trafficked from. 80 percent of its inmates are Black. They still pick cotton in the same fields. Armed guards still watch them on horseback. America did not become the most powerful nation on earth despite slavery. It became powerful because of it. And it is not done. Follow the link in bio for more on YouTube."
