The promised neverland

The speaker discusses the history of segregation and enslavement of the black community. They focus on Chloe Cooley, a black Canadian woman born in 1759, who was violently sold into slavery in the United States. This incident serves as an example of the horrific treatment that the black community has faced. The speaker questions whether Canada, often seen as a promised land, truly lived up to this ideal, as these events likely occurred more frequently but went undocumented. They conclude that the promised land only existed for white Americans who did not experience the same hardships. The black community has been segregated and enslaved for centuries, filled with darkness and fear. But what did their lives look like? Tonight, Santiago will share the experience of a resilient black woman to uncover the truth of Canada and discover if it was a real promised Neverland. So, we all know the sad and dark history that the United States of America has been part of in terms of slavery. But what if we looked more upper north into Canada? Was it always a promised land that existed today? I want to share with you today the experience of Chloe Cooley, a black Canadian born in 1759 who lived in Upper Canada. So, who was Chloe Cooley? She was a black woman who lived in Upper Canada and was born in 1759. She participated in the Act to Limit Slavery in Canada on 1973. What is known today about Chloe Cooley is because of the documentation of a violent sale by rumen across the Niagara River into New York on 14th of March. This tragedy was reported to the Executive Council of the Parliament of Upper Canada in Newark. On that horrific day, rumen violently tied Cooley up with a rope. Vrumen was assisted by two other men, his brother Isaac Vrumen and one of the five sons of United Empire Loyalist McGregory Van Every. The three men put Cooley in a boat and transported her across the Niagara River to sail her into New York State. Cooley resisted fiercely, but to no avail. Her piercing screams alerted Peter Martin, a black Loyalist formerly enslaved by John Butler. This incident did not have an immediate impact right away, but over time this is used as an example to represent the horrific treatment that the black community has suffered. So, was Canada the real promised Neverland? Well, I shall use these incidents as an example. Events like these probably happened many more times to the black community that were just not documented and there's no way we could have possibly known about them. But, the promised land did exist, only for the white Americans who did not have to go through the horrific experiences that other races such as the black community has gone through.
