  Shaun. This is unrelated, but this thread about the NYT's OverLooked project & the history of how the NYT covered Ida B Wells & lynchings at the time might be of interest to you. Peace.https://twitter.com/RBrulin/status/971794907693240320 …

  The "Overlooked" @nytimes project is absolutely REMARKABLE. HOWEVER: Sins of NYT were NOT SIMPLY that it "overlooked" these amazing women's DEATHS at the time. In the case of Ida B. Wells & lynchings, NYT did all it could to DISCREDIT & FIGHT her. THREAD https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/obituaries/overlooked.html …

  It's messed up. As a white person, I sort of expect to be ignorant of black activism. This is why we need minorities' history year round. I keep finding things out abt women that I'm shocked by bc I feel I should know that. People's history like Zinn wrote.

  You know after watching that snippet about Homecoming and seeing those kids walk around trolling with the coach Eaton hats eerily reminds of #ALM AND #BLUELIVESMATTER counter movements. it's really like the US didn't change as much as it evolved.
