english: Oftentimes when we think about the history of blacks in America, we think about the heinous acts and numerous injustices that we experienced as people of color because of the color of our skin, when in fact, in post-Civil War America, it was the hair of an African-American male or female that was known as the most "telling feature" of Negro status, more so than the color of the skin.
non_english: Često kada razmišljamo o istoriji crnih ljudi u Americi, mislimo na užasna dela i brojne nepravde koje smo iskusili kao obojeni ljudi zbog boje naše kože, kada je zapravo u Americi nakon građanskog rata kosa afroameričkog muškarca ili žene bila poznata kao „karakteristika koja odaje“ status crnca, više nego boja kože.
