The Importance of Language in the Past

Language can either clarify or obscure. It can either justify or explicate, right? And one of the things i did early on was i cre ed a guide on language so the language will be uniform. We won't call human beings slaves. Ah, we're not going to use the euphemism of a plantation. We don't use blacks as a noun. That language was important because when you call some one a slave, you're saying that's who that person was. But slavery was a condition. So it was really important to me to not continue to dehumanize people who had been dehumanized,. but also to force an understanding that these were people who had a condition forced upon them
