#bxbbkbhm - I posted this last February and it’s funny how truth works. It stays relevant. Like Paul Mooney says “The truth defends itself” . This is another great quote from ‪@nikolehannahjones appearance on PBS Newshour...”What we know is white support for universal programs decline if they think that large numbers of black people are gonna benefit from it.” . From @nytimes "400 years ago, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. No part of America has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed. “Without the idealistic, strenuous and patriotic efforts of black Americans, our democracy today would most likely look very different — it might not be a democracy at all,” writes Nikole Hannah-Jones. To explore the legacy of slavery, The New York Times and @nytmag have started the #1619Project, a collection of essays, criticism, art and an audio series from more than 30 contributors about the lasting impact of American slavery. Each of the stories in the #1619Projecttakes up a modern phenomenon and reveals its history. From the lack of universal health care to mass incarceration, from the brutality of capitalism to the epidemic of sugar, The 1619 Project explores how America’s years of slavery still shape the country today.

Again, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything about this country’s “greatness” untethered to the institution of slavery. .

So I was at a 1619 discussion this morning at @LREI, my daughter’s school. I was a little hate from dropping her upstairs and I walked in partially through this video being shown. It was when Nikole Hannah-Jones appeared on PBS Newshour. The conversation that followed was great. I took notes furiously listening. This is one quote from the many. I love this project...From @nytimes "400 years ago, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia.
