Thanks for the shout-out.

I also wanted to delve more deeply into the treatment of black kids during slavery, but space and time would not allow. You did so earlier and with this piece as well. ("Great minds...." you know).

I'm sure you're aware that throughout slavery black babies and toddlers were often used as alligator bait all along the Gulf Coast? There are several essays on Medium covering that particular atrocity: https://medium.com/search?q=alligator+bait

Excellent work, as usual.
