        I'm sorry but the lynching article caught my attention. Seems both racism and the gop hasn't changed much at all over the years.

        Two things jumped out at me: • Save the paper it makes History #prescient • Under “States’ Rights” Posse, bent on lynching, searches woods for prey #NeverForget

        Look at the juxtaposition of headlines on this page - military desegregation announced and a lynch party pursuing their prey until word spreads that the "negroes might resist" sends the mob running. Terrifying and not very long ago ....

        I like what it says at the I bottom of the paper "GOP must decide what comes first, party or nation". Still rings true today

        First, they came for immigrants.. Retweeted Michael Beschloss

        I have a theory.The only thing standing between President Trump and AG Sessions and re-segregating the US Military is command. What's going on with citizenship bargain for immigrants serving in US armed forces? #mapolihttps://twitter.com/BeschlossDC/status/1022265435612475392 …

        Woodrow Wilson could have done it, but chose, instead, to completely segregate the entire Federal government. It's good Truman finally did it. He was a cut above his predecessors and successors.

        The importance of this order is underrated. My father was in the army when this happened in 1948. It was a tremendous and critically important step toward later, more widely known civil-rights victories.
