In Chapter 8, Maria Ressa writes, “Silence is complicity.” What do you think of this? Have you experienced such a moment in your life? Did you or those involved show courage or complicity? What did you take away from the experience?

Lesson 10 of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder is "Believe in truth." This is our discussion topic for the day.

#Booksky

"On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

Segregation was never just separate facilities
It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood
It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired
It was needing police for the police
It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells)
It was building a school & having it shot up (JSU)
