We picked the seeds from cotton in American History so we would know how much of a pain in the arse it was. It was a valuable lesson.
This was in the 90s… magically every student survived and nobody got sued.

Was she the only one? How many in the class?

Her teacher did not require her to pick cotton, she told her mother, but she watched other students do so and “discussion of the project in school terrified her and she [was] horrified at the idea of having to ‘pick cotton’”.
She didn't even pick any.

I’m 43, and my parents are in their mid-late 70’s, both picked cotton. Mechanical pickers weren’t widely used until the early sixties in North Arkansas. All through the 1950’s most rural schools in the Delta and Ozark Foothills shut down during harvest so students (and teachers) could pick cotton.

Black people should stop eating sugar since slaves worked in sugar cane fields.
It would help them a lot when it comes to healthcare.
