Elroy And Louie: Making sense: Ourstory

By Diego Vermilye and Louie Vermilye

Elroy and Louie embark on a journey through history, peeling back layers of deception and half-truths surrounding governance, independence, and the pursuit of happiness. They analyze the Declaration of Independence, recognizing both its revolutionary potential and its contradictions-written in the name of freedom while resting on stolen land and forced labor. They trace the ideas of governance beyond 1776, acknowledging that the Founding Fathers borrowed heavily from Indigenous confederacies, ancient natural laws, and uprisings against feudal rule.

As they examine past and present power structures, they uncover how imperialism, control, and division have shaped governance, keeping people in cycles of manufactured struggle. Yet, through learning about figures like Benjamin Banneker, the Seminole, Phillis Wheatley, and the Florida Highwaymen, they see the legacies of those who resisted, built, and redefined freedom on their own terms.

Their exploration reveals a tipping point-where modern technology, AI, and automation could allow humanity to move beyond survival into true self-determination, but only if systems of control are exposed and dismantled. They challenge the double talk of history, asking: What if we took the ideals of liberty and happiness and applied them as they should have always been? Plus the true history of The Robber Barons and much much more Over 2 dozen stories
