I’m in the US, so we learn (some) about African people that were brought here and to the Caribbean. It is terrible what happened, but they came up with many great things to help them get through. They brought with them foods, music, and traditions that now feel engrained in the greater society here, regardless of one’s origins.

We still have a very long way to go on fixing people’s biases, but many people have much more foreign influence in their daily lives than they might be aware of.

With pending uncertainty of the effects of climate change, who knows who the next group of immigrants will be, and those people should hope that they have shown good treatment to those seeking help in the past.
