To say Port Of Harlem magazine is proud is a gross understatement. She impacted our work on Africa's Smiling Coast: The Gambia and the upcoming "The Trans-Atlantic Human Trade and The Gambia’s Overflowing Significance," where we use 11 languages widely spoken in The Gambia.

When I read chatter on FB about what other folks should do, I think of Colin and what he did and is doing.

“They want to steal your money for reparations. They want to basically punish you for crimes that you never committed that happened hundreds of years ago.

And our country doesn’t have that kind of money. They have the money for $5,000, but they don’t have that kind of money. And give it to the people that hate our country.”

After reading comments on how this "male" saw things differently, I am even more eager to read "Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum," by Antonia Hylton.

During her interviews, I also learned that under the legal doctrine of coverture, married women in Britain and the United States historically had sharply limited independent legal identity, property rights, and control over children. Medical and legal systems were overwhelmingly controlled by men, while broad ideas such as “hysteria,” “nervousness,” “moral insanity,” or “domestic troubles” could be used to label women as mentally unwell.

A husband’s complaint could carry substantial weight with doctors, local officials, and asylum authorities. In certain jurisdictions, especially before stronger due-process laws, a wife could be admitted on a husband’s request plus medical certification rather than receiving the sort of hearing or trial available to men.
=====================================
Aside from the verdict, history may say this woman "finally" had a trial.
History may add that society has finally put postpartum mental-health care, family support, medication risks and monitoring, clinical accountability, and the isolation of overwhelmed mothers on trial.

His being "Black" will probably be an anecdote, one of those 15-second Black history lessons such as a lesson on Henry Christophe or Frank Wills.
