I was born in 1971 and I do believe that this is the most important election of my lifetime. As for the least consequential election during that time, I’d go with 1996 but I’m curious what others think. What’s your sense, @jbf1755, @william_sturkey, @jelani9, and @HC_Richardson? – at Carrboro, NC
My @CulbrethCougars students don’t know it but I hang out with celebrities on the weekend. (Yeah, that’s really him!)

Remembering the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing
On September 15, 1963, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, claimed the lives of four young girls—Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Denise McNair. This tragic attack came at the height of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement, galvanizing support for the struggle against racial injustice.
The outrage following this event helped pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This horrific act of hate shocked the nation and strengthened the fight for justice and equality. Today, we honor their memory by continuing to work for a world where love and peace triumph over hate.

After a year and a half of not being a classroom teacher, I am thrilled to be an @CulbrethCougars social studies teacher! Can you imagine how beautiful and inspiring this classroom will look once I start putting up my Steph Curry posters?

Hey, @GovTimWalz. Congratulations from one 20-year social studies teacher to another! I’m so inspired that I’m leaving a family reunion at 3:30 a.m. to drive to the rally in Eau Claire. Any chance that you can say hi for a minute? I’ll be the guy in this Macalester hat. Thanks!

A former student, @RenoraTheQueen, just published a paper on market-driven epidemics with two terrific professors (@jonoquick and @GYamey) who were frequent guests in our class. It’s a real thrill to see students get excited and active in the world!
