Atlanta rapper B.o.B., who started a Go Fund Me campaign in September aiming to bankroll his quest to prove the earth is flat , is back with more revisionist history.
This time he questions if slavery happened in America.
He's also not sure if the planet we all live on is a thing, either. "Earth is not a place. It's a state of mind," he tweeted.
To state the crushingly obvious, it's not hard to find evidence of slave ships and other vestiges of slavery. Here's an article in The Atlantic about efforts by a network of scholars and the Smithsonian to restore a sunken ship that wrecked in 1794.
Here's a link to the National Museum of African American History and Culture's collection of slavery artifacts , including articles of clothing, a "slave badge" and photos.
Closer to home, here's a link to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights , located here in Atlanta.
