Christopher Columbus said of the Taino, the indigenous people of the Caribbean,
“They are very gentle and without knowledge of what is evil…they have the sweetest talk in the world, and are gentle.” Within a few short years, the Spanish colonizers had tortured, enslaved and executed the Taino to almost extinction. #WeAreStillHere
