SIFT: 1. Stop.

2. Investigate the source.

3. Find better coverage.

4. Trace claims, quotes and media to the original context.

I've known about & tweeted @samwineburg's great work on evaluating Internet info, but have just learned about @holden's, influenced by Sam & Sarah McGrew. Mike's SIFT method amplifies prior work beautifully. https://t.co/GbV2G9ikSw

". . . sat on them, I probably would not be slow to apologize, if that’s all it takes. . . that’s little to pay for the gazillions that Black people built up — the wealth of this country. . . That’s not enough." -- John Hope Franklin

Teaching the 1619 Project in my US History classes now and let me tell you, explaining that this text is outlawed in many states and I could be fired, have my license pulled or possibly face fines or jail time for giving them this text - has been GREAT for motivation & buy-in!
