1955. North Carolina.
Members of the Ku Klux Klan were openly debating and resisting equal rights for Black Americans.

These are the views of the so-called "conservatives" now.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Before Trump, there was Nixon. #KnowHistory

In Episode 1 of Master Plan: The Kingmakers, we trace how the fight over Nixon’s abuses of power set the stage for a modern campaign to expand presidential authority and the legal theory that would help justify it.

Great news! Apparently America had another wyt soupremassiz, loudmouthed, dullard who had no respect for the law as President, and it survived his presidency. Unlike #Drumpf, #TheodoreRoosevelt wasn’t a #chickenhawk #coward, but they are alike in many ways.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest against
- tariffs (taxes) illegally levied by the king, and
- putting military troops in American cities.

Protest is our birthright. It is our duty as Americans.

"The Shoe Lane seizure was an “egregious wrong...the city has to own up to the fact that this was a deliberate attempt to get rid of a Black community, because there were many places that the school could have been built.”

60+ years ago, the white leaders of Newport News, VA, seized the core of a thriving Black community to build a college.

The campus location “was almost entirely a racial issue,” said one professor. “I believe they wanted to remove the Black community from here.”

“Someday, I hope, we’re going to have a reckoning over the horrors of this moment, but I don’t think we can do it without a clearer understanding of how this fits into U.S. history. There’s a tendency to say, “This isn’t who we are,” and I get the impulse, but history is never that simple.”
