"N'oubliez jamais que pendant 250 ans les Noirs sont nés dans les chaînes"

Simplified Meaning:
For a long time in history, black people in America were forced to be slaves. This means they were treated as property and had no freedom or rights. Just because they were born with black skin, they couldn't make their own choices or live a normal life. This went on for generations, meaning children were born into this terrible situation without any hope of change. Imagine if your parents, grandparents, and every generation before lived in such conditions; this can explain the deep impact and unfairness involved. Understanding this history is important to recognize why issues related to race and equality are still very significant today.
