I wrote about this moment in the Conclusion of *Richmond’s Priests and Prophets*.
Kirkpatrick’s racism was always the motivation for Massive Resistance. We have failed to understand that all *principled* arguments by movement conservatives about the Constitution have this racism at their core.

Second time TODAY I've heard someone referencing Born Fighting and that's two too many times in one day.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Mrs. Cooke seems to have lived her entire life on Moore Street surrounded by her extended family. Can't find anything on the dispute over industrial development in Carver referred to here. Husband worked in a lumber yard and died in 1971. They had no kids? She's buried in Mt. Calvary.

I taught a namesake descendant of Gerry at Colgate and can confirm the pronunciation.
Plus a descendant of Gouverneur Morris taught on the Stanford faculty so I know his first name is pronounced Governor.
And a strange fact: Madison was the only president to kill off both his vice presidents.

Poor Elbridge Gerry, now known only 4 gerrymander
Upside: his name was originally pronounced with a hard "g,"so now you can show off ur superior knowledge at cocktail parties & faculty meetings

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

🧵 At some point we need t take a step back and ask how these acts of blatant censorship are functioning or what larger project of the Trump administration's they are intended to advance. Let's be clear. We know the Trump administration cannot erase history. That's not what this is about.
I am speechless.

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today
Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.
