Pictured is a young enslaved person. Gender unknown.
Enslaved people — my ancestors— worked in the field from morning until night, in the scorching sun and the only thing that got them through was 'mind over body' thinking.
Take note of the ice cube on the head. Something imagined can bring hope. An ice cube on the head of an enslaved person illustrates the power of our ability to overcome something first in our minds.
