Chuck's Ride

Chuck Berry's 1973 Cadillac Eldorado at the Smithsonian's Black History Museum in Washington, D. C.

 

The car was nice, but what I really came away with from this museum was that the Jim Crow era in the U.S. never ended and that the repression and financial exploitation of black people in this Country continues practically unabated today. If you don't believe me, google, "red-lining," "contract for deed," "pay day loans," and "medicaid expansion," just to start.
