Before the Nakba, there were books in Jaffa. Music in Haifa. Students in Jerusalem. Orchards in Galilee. Cafés in Ramallah. They didn’t erase emptiness—they erased abundance. Every face is testimony. Every archive, refusal.
Benjamin Quarles didn’t just “arrive” in 1948 — he re-wired the whole field.
Too many writers call him a milestone when he was the foundation.
Without Quarles, Douglass studies don’t even have a floor to stand on.

Trump’s team isn’t “reforming” DOE—they’re gutting the engine that protects civil rights, disability access, and equal education. A nation that under-educates its people is a nation choosing control over democracy.

A president demanding arrests and hinting at executions for lawful dissent isn’t protecting the nation — he’s testing how far he can bend it. Civics says refuse illegal orders. Autocrats say obey or die. #DemocracyDefense #CivicDuty

Executive orders crumble. Ancestral orders endure.
Our elders left maps in music, rivers, and memory — Vietnam to Clarksdale to Congo.
Their empire’s on its last breath; our breath just getting started.

Thomas Paine’s pen could set a continent on fire—but this eulogy hits different when you know the man they buried never freed the people who built his fortune. The poem is fine. The silence on bondage is louder. Memory deserves the full ledger, not just the marble. #FullHistory #LedgerOpen
A newspaper clip shows Thomas Paine's eulogy at the funeral of George Washington. You can see Paine's poem for the occasion in this image.

Juan Latino walked out of bondage carrying a library in his skull. Spain wanted him silent, ornamental, grateful; he answered with Greek declensions, Latin hexameters, and a pen sharp enough to carve his name into a country

Stephen "pick up my trash" Miller loves to sermonize about Rome, Athens, and Monticello — but his lineage traces back to Antopol, a muddy market square in the Pale of Settlement. The man preaching “Western civilization” comes from a shtetl his own ancestors fled. Myth louder than memory. #ShtetlReal

Cute cartoon, but the fairy tale is still doing heavy lifting. They weren’t holy pilgrims — they were England’s throwaways. As #Isenberg shows, America imported its “white trash” long before it preached purity. The empire dumped its poor here, then rewrote the story as scripture. #HistoryUnmasked

They mythologize George Washington and the cherry tree to sell “divine integrity.” If you don’t learn our story yourself, they’ll feed you lies — that Africa was only jungles, spears, and grass skirts. #SankofaCut

UBW — African Founders by David Hackett Fischer
Fischer’s closing argument is simple but heavy:
Africans were not passive victims — they were central shapers of regional American cultures, rights traditions, speechways, ethics, and freedom movements.

African origins made America’s culture, and empirical truth finally exposes that hidden architecture.
Evidence:
• 95% of enslaved arrivals to North America were African-born, not Caribbean “seasoned.”
• Every U.S. region drew from every major African culture—Senegal to Angola.
