What does the King family teach her to say instead? Extra Credit: In continuation of #5, why does the term the King family teaches Amanda matter? (In other words, what’s the difference?)

Answer 1

1. The people that lived in the cabin that John B. King Jr. visited were his ancestors, the enslaved Kings.

2. King says that his wife and two daughters were moved to tears when they discovered the massive information about their ancestors.

3. Some of the incredible members of the King family included Lt. Co. Haldane King, who was a Tuskegee Airman (combat pilot).

4. Amanda says that the King family wants nothing from her family but the recognition that their ancestors were connected by slavery.

5. When Amanda uses the term 'slave' to describe the King family, the King family teaches her to say "enslaved people."

What is the difference between 'slave' and "enslaved people"?

A slave may refer to a person who lived as a servant of another.

But enslaved people refer to the systematic enforcement of slavery against the people's will.

Thus, by using "enslaved people" instead of "slave," there is the admission of enforced slavery as a real event that happened to some African Americans.
