@omarsterling959: America's Most Famous House Was Built by Slaves #hIn 1792, the U.S. government rented enslaved men from their owners to build the president's house. They cut the sandstone in Virginia quarries, hauled it 40 miles, dug the foundations, and raised the walls — sunrise to sunset. Their wages were paid every month… to their owners. They received nothing. And when the British burned it down in 1814, the same hands were brought back to build it all over again. Two hundred years later, First Lady Michelle Obama finally said it to the world: "I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves." 🏛️ The history they don't teach you. #WhiteHouse #BlackHistory #hiddenhistory #history #untoldhistory #slavery #MichelleObama #ArfaStories #thehistorytheydontteachyou #neverforget
