Glad to see Dr. Hannah-Jones will be in a supportive environment @ Howard U! Let’s not forget that this began with conservative politicians. We’ve got work to do NC and it begins with the ballot.

Professional historians need to join arms with secondary and primary school teachers in defense of history. We are all citizen teachers fighting structured ignorance and political venality.
