@BrodowiczLynn I agree. I was really intrigued by this reading too. #AuburnWorldHistory

... universities under the guise of reconciliation.” #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

If I had to choose one sentence to sum up the reading it would be this: “In this respect, its path forward toward reparations and a reckoning with its history must go infinitely beyond the anemic token gestures being voluntarily offered thus far by elite... #AuburnWorldHistory

I was surprised at how much information there was in the footnotes of this reading. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

This reading has a very captivating introduction: “Hundreds of enslaved African American men, women, and children lived and died on that plantation to make the University of Chicago.. The University of Chicago refuses to acknowledge this part of its heritage.” #AuburnWorldHistory

According to Wikipedia, neoliberalism is used to describe policies such as “eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers, and reducing state influence in the economy.” #AuburnWorldHistory

Harvey states “I think it’s possible that you can make a better capitalism than that which currently exists. But not by much.” Do you agree? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

I’ve heard of the term neoliberalism before but actually had no idea what it meant until I read this article. #AuburnWorldHistory

@hannah39819684 I agree, it really helped me get a better understanding of this topic. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

@shir_azran Quite honestly I don’t know if we’ll ever get the concrete evidence that we’re looking for. #AuburnWorldHistory

I feel like there’s a lot of gray area in trying to determine which UFO reports are legitimate and which ones are due to “psychological quirks”. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

“Of the several thousand UFO reports that the Air Force had received since 1947, some 15 to 20 percent fall into this category called unknown... after exhaustive investigation the object that was reported could not be identified.” #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

I had no clue there was a book written strictly for UFOs.... Pretty cool though! #AuburnWorldHistory

Like Haddad said, it’s always important to reflect on the past and never forget the events that took place. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

I never knew that it was a part of Israeli law to refuse acknowledgment of the Palestinian Nakba. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

It’s interesting to see how Haddad struggles with the idea of a voluntary departure and whether or not the people who left have any entitlement to what they are leaving behind. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

@lilly_bishop9 For sure. I can’t even imagine what that’s like. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

It’s interesting to see divisive nationalism has been throughout history. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

@FMurgett I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was especially interesting to learn about the origin of this controversy. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caden Best @CadenBest2]

Interesting point mentioned by Saposnik: “The reason for anti-Semitism is that Jews are this strange homeless nation and they need to have a home of their own.” #AuburnWorldHistory
