Long after the United States abolished slavery in 1865, Black Americans still face systemic racism. There are several events in American history that point to the lasting impact of slavery and the Tulsa Race Massacre is an important one for students to learn about.

Virginian lawmakers decided that slave status should be defined by their mothers because many slave children were born of Englishmen and thus the decision of acknowledging a black to be slave or free was dependent on his/her mother's condition.

It stated that their condition remains the same regardless of generous owners who made their children, born of slavewoman, participate in baptism.
