Humanity-First Promise — paired with MG-8 for trauma-informed lessons on slavery (Lessons 9, 10, 13, 16, 19). Five-line text: 'When we learn about chattel slavery, we begin with the HUMANITY of the enslaved person — their name (if known), their family, their place of origin, their resistance, their dignity. We never reduce a human being to a number, a price, or a victim alone.' Style: dignified scroll layout matching MG-8.
