Florida has agreed to, and New Hampshire is considering, use of PragerU video in K-12 schools.
It's as much a hot mess as you're imagining.

So much truth telling is rejecting the narrative that black and Indigenous people's historical cultures were not technologically advanced.
It turns out the iron production methods that turned the UK into a superpower were appropriated from enslaved Jamaican people.
Reminds me of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu that describes engineering in Aboriginal societies that was erased by white settlers.

“In light of what is going on in the country today, Juneteenth serves as a reminder that if we do not fight for, demand and seek justice and equity we are still slaves even though physical chains are no longer on us.
Take time to read these slides so when you’re asked what's the big deal…you can share why.” - Buy from a Black Woman

A wonderful visit to African American Museum in DC.
I could probably post 100 photos and I will still not be satisfied, but it’s such a thoughtfully done museum so please visit if you have an opportunity to visit DC next time! ❤️

In the US, it's Black History Month.
Oh, what a dream it would be to be unbothered, to glide, luxuriant, in full sapience + sentience, or at rest, able to thrive or falter with fewer scythes in the rich soil our ancestors fed--

Explained to someone how Black slave women or Black women that had been captured organized so many rebellions during Middle Passage. #BlackHistory and also how they could do so because the colonizers wanted to have an easier way to get to the “cookie” but it would lead to their downfall sometimes. #womensHistory in the #VennDiagram of life
