History often rewrites itself to make powerful men look like heroes, even when their actions were rooted in racism and oppression. The phrase “White men freed the slaves” oversimplifies and distorts reality, erasing the resistance, agency, and sacrifices of enslaved people themselves. By turning racist men into saviors, society perpetuates a dangerous myth that centers whiteness and diminishes the voices of those who truly fought for freedom. Let’s question how history is told, who it benefits, and why certain men are remembered as heroes at all.
