Thinking about Henry and Eph Grizzard as I walked past his lynching marker this AM.

During the 1930s, a woman from #northnashville told us about that day.
#teachhistory
#NashvilleHistorySky
I remember the time when Eph Grizzard was hung over the bridge. That time they had what they called a "dummy" running from here to East Nashville. Run right down by the jail. Eph was in the jail. They had a black mother-hubbard on him to tell him from the rest of the prisoners. They took him out of jail and went running up First Avenue to the bridge, and tied the rope around his neck and threw him over. It was about three o'clock. He hung there from three until about six o'clock. They would take a hold of that rope every once in a while and give it a yank. The sheriff of Goodletsville got up on the bridge and made a speech and said, "If anybody, rich or poor, black or white, grizzly or gray, get up and say anything in this nigger's behalf we will take them and do them the same way." Five or six men was killed trying to get to the jail to get Eph out. I was working down on the wharf at Broad this side of the Tennessee Central station. My heart ached within me. I looked to see that bridge fall in there was so many people on it that day. I heard that woman had a child afterwards, butl don't know. They killed him and burned him up.

This was a dark, but fascinating read. Everyone should read this.

May we never forget the inhumane cruelty and horrors of slavery.

This is why #history needs to be taught as is - so we learn from it and never let the terrible things happen ever again.

As books are burned & banned, it’s important that all of U.S. history is forever amplified and not hidden.

The holiday season meant something very different for American slaves, my ancestors.

The Dark History of New Year's Day in American Slavery
By Olivia B. Waxman — "Of all days in the year, the slaves dread New Year's Day the worst of any," one 1842 account explained. Here's why.

Archaeologists uncover ‘lost’ home depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry
Archaeologists believe they found a residence of medieval ruler Harold Godwinson, England’s last Anglo-Saxon king. A nearby church and toilet were vital clues.

The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn from history.

And the fastest way to 'achieve' this, is not to teach it.

3.1k children. Abducted from their homes. Abused. Tortured. Died in terrible ways from disease and other causes. All because they were #Indian.

This is why we need to teach #history.

More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures
The Post’s year-long investigation found that three times as many Native American students had died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 as the U.S. government had previously reported.
