The constitutionality should absolutely have been determined beforehand. This is so out of order from scholars who absolutely know better. Just invented a weasel excuse post facto instead of telling the truth.

Just a reminder. The slave industry was more profitable than the rail road industry. Slavery was Americas first big business

Was thinking about Harry T. and Harriette Moore this morning.

What we are seeing in South Korea right now is not just a moving example of democracy but also an important reminder of how strong historical education can empower people to not repeat the worst of its history.

This is my great grandfather’s poem!
Here is my article on Garabed Artinian who survived the Adana Massacres of 1909, lost his family, and wrote the lengthiest lamentation poem (destan) in Armeno-Turkish. I analyze the destan, discuss its historical value, and provide a translation.

One of my favorite museum galleries anywhere in the world: The @SmithsonianNMAI ‘s 3rd floor South Gallery exhibit “Americans.” A #Thanksgiving reminder that the past isn’t past and the living now encompasses all of us.

This is why, more than ever, people should not obey in advance.
Especially teachers of history.
A part of the disinformation was produced by suppression of teaching critical analysis & people's history -- enforced by high stakes testing, anti-CRT laws, book bans, & chilling effect.
GOP advanced that legislation for a reason.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum: "If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility."
Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

The first accurate and scholarly account of what happened in Wilmington 1898 was written by a Black woman, Dr. Helen G. Edmonds, in 1951. The historical profession criticized her work but time has vindicated her scholarship. #AmericanCoupPBS

After slavery, freedpeople demanded land, education, and the BALLOT. #AmericanCoupPBS
