Frederick Douglass Erased. Black History Giant Scrubbed From America’s 250th Anniversary Coins As America marks 250 years, Black history is being scrubbed from the nation’s anniversary coins. As the United States prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, plans to honor Frederick Douglass on a special series of U.S. coins were scrapped. Former U.S. Mint leadership confirmed the designs were legally approved, publicly vetted, and aligned with federal law requiring a complete picture of American history. Those designs were later dismissed as “wokeness” and diversity, despite explicit statutory requirements. The result is a milestone celebration that erases Black history while elevating a narrowed, whitewashed version of the nation’s past. 🔥 Frederick Douglass was approved to appear on U.S. coins as part of America’s 250th anniversary before the decision was reversed. 🔥 Former Mint officials say the Treasury ignored the law and overrode a public, multi-year approval process. 🔥 Designs highlighting abolition, voting rights, and Black history were dismissed as “wokeness” and diversity. 🔥 The rollback leaves America’s Semiquincentennial celebration stripped of Black historical representation. #FrederickDouglass #BlackHistory #Whitewashing #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

You don’t even get a wealthy and united America without the contributions of black Americans; those people need to stop playing.
