Trump’s regime knows they can’t silence us all through investigations, prosecutions or the deployment of brutal secret police. They can only try to silence dissent through fear.

In light of the erasure at the Smithsonian, let me recommend some books:
1. ‘Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl’ by Harriet Jacobs
2. ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass’ by Frederick Douglass
Both excellent, brutal depictions of U.S. slavery as it truly was, written by survivors.

If the Trump administration wants to protects kids, maybe they could protect them from the pe0dophiles on the Epstein List? 🤷♂️

The best thing to happen to the Bond film franchise was the game Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64.
Which tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the movies.

I don’t think OP is comparing them directly.
I think the point is that most school children learn about Helen Keller (and people like her), while Du Bois (and people like him) mostly show up in specialized college courses.
It’s meant to point out the disparity in who gets taught about and when.

To add to this (and maybe this is only me) but I don’t remember learning anything about the Reconstruction Era. This was the period directly after the end of slavery, and a period of massive social progress, largely killed and reversed by the advent of segregation.

A few I’d recommend:
‘Separate: The Story of Plessy V. Ferguson’ by Steve Luxenberg.
‘Robert E. Lee and Me’ by Ty Seidule
‘Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl’ by Harriet Jacobs
I’d also suggest the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois and Frederick Douglass

I’m an advocate for research and character development prior to drafting, but this👆 is why I’ve never been able to get into hard outlines.
Outlines make me feel as though I’m eliminating those free-flow scenes and sections before they have a chance to exist!

I just finished “Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Very lyrical, thought provoking, and insightful. Would 100% recommend.
And am currently reading “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson. I’m about 1/5 through but my minds already blown.
