Yes, during John’s life, especially while driving his long-distance big truck, he often reflected upon slavery.


Christina Perry Mitchell (1845-1955), John Thompson’s Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was born into slavery and her “slave master pierced her ear with the markings of his ownership.” The piercing of a slave’s ear, when he or she refused to go free, instead stayed in her slave master’s house, was a common acceptance of bondage and servitude. Christina Perry Mitchell was the mother of her slave master’s 8 children.

Early enslavement of Africans in South Carolina existed for 339 years (1526-1865), according to SCIWAY Publications. Note, slavery in the United States of America covered a period of 246 years (1619-1865), and Juneteenth (1619 - June 19, 1865). According to many historical references, Union General Gordon Granger and thousands of federal troops arrived on Monday, June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas to inform Texans that the Civil War (April 12, 1861- May 09, 1865) had ended, and slaves in the U. S. A. had been freed. Mrs. Christina was the mother of 8 children: More Information to Come.

HERE ARE THE NAMES OF THE 200+ BLACK PEOPLE KILLED BY POLICE IN 2021. THIS GUY'S APP COULD HAVE SAVED THEM
James A. Samuel, founder of an app that turns your smartphone into a personal bodycam that also alerts family members, strongly believes that his technology can save lives.

Last year, more than 1,000 people were shot and killed in the U.S. by police officers, and according to Newsweek, at least 203 of them were Black. James A. Samuel, Jr., the developer of an app called ANJEL Tech that turns any smartphone into the world’s most powerful bodycam, says that his technology could have potentially saved those victims' lives.

James created the app because of his passion for preventing more Black Americans from becoming yet another painful statistic. His app is both a discrete and secure way to immediately start live streaming an incident, and also automatically send alerts and the person's GPS location to trusted family members and friends. The person in need of help can do so quietly without an aggressor noticing, and can also save the footage as video evidence to demand accountability.
