While Lante and Nakiba Phillips were taking a walk around a park in a Houston neighborhood, they were stopped in their tracks by a “slaves-for-sale” flyer nailed to a tree, according to Click2Houston. Police are not only trying to find who put the flyer up but they are also investigating to see if this qualifies as a hate crime.

Sunnyside is the oldest historically Black neighborhood in the south side of Houston, per the Texas State Library. Thousands of enslaved Black people resided in the region before the Civil War. In 1912, H.H. Holmes plotted the land and founded the community where Black people began to settle. Yet, after surviving decades of racist violence and annexation, someone thought it clever to remind the Black residents where they came from.
The Phillips told reporters they came to Sunnyside park regularly to walk their laps. Thursday morning, their walk was interrupted by a disturbing blast from the past: a “For Sale” sign for slaves. The flyer read, “Great Sale of Negroes” dated November 11, 1855. Underneath listed “one buck” and 2 “wenches” with given names, ages and described as “excellent cooks” or “servants.”
