Writing about enslaved people and enslavers
[edit]- 1865 Alexandria, VA, at Convention of the Colored People of Virginia delegated decided to replace the word 'masters' with 'former oppressors'
- http://coloredconventions.org/items/show/272
- "Wm. E. Walker, of Petersburg, desired that there should be a correction made where the expression in the address read--"our former masters." He moved that the word "masters" be stricken out and the words "our former oppressors" be substituted therefor. The amendment was adopted."

- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A4TEdDgYslX-hlKezLodMIM71My3KTN0zxRv0IQTOQs/edit
- NB: "This document uses “community-sourced” instead of “crowdsourced” to acknowledge the ways in which the connotation of “crowd” has been historically racialized, as P. Gabrielle Foreman points out. The term is also more accurate; an online community contributed to this document and its multiple intervention.
