@educatedwoman12 @mattyglesias It's definitely not laughable. That she was a slave has made it a one-way street. You are correct about "basic biological instinct". Yet, slavery has a strange way of having a strong effect on such instinct.

@NC_WASP @TJMonticello That kind of response is what we expect a WASP to give. Regardless of what you believe, Gordon-Reed gives us the truth. #ThomasJefferson #SallyHemings @TJMonticello #History

On this day in 1956, Autherine Lucy became the 1st black student admitted to University of Alabama, after a long legal battle that included the Supreme Court.

Riots ensued and She was expelled 3 days later for "her own safety”. #BlackHistoryMonth

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.

They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

I don't want to read any more stories about teachers who have to change their Black Studies class. I want stories about teachers who are resisting the AP changes. I want to hear about parents organizing freedom schools. I want to see students sit in libraries with banned books
