Tamar Braxton recently took to Instagram, where she posted a very uncomfortable picture with a powerful message accompanying it.

The photo features a black slave who was severely beaten by his white master/owner with painful and horrific scars on his back.

The powerful black and white photo might be painful to look at, but it is more than fitting in the wake of the worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, while in police custody.

The killing of the black man spawned impassioned pleas for racial justice.

The singer penned this thank you note via the caption of the black and white photo: “Thank you to our Amazing Ancestors🙏🏼✨ , your gifts, and protection I’m beyond grateful for. You all always show up in times of need and hurry. You all took beatings like this and fought for us not to be slaves to anything or anyone. You left fear behind you… and now so must we‼️Dear Sweet Ancestors, surround this fight with light and have our backs while we are deep in this. We need you now more than ever. The time is now. I love you. Thank you✊🏾🔮”

Tamar’s boyfriend, David Adefeso, had this to say: “The best way to honor those who sacrificed so much that we may be here is never to forget their sacrifices and to carry on their struggle for freedom and justice✊🏽✊🏽. We will not bend, we will not break, and we will never relent till our dream is fulfilled.🙏🏽🙏🏽”
