@arm9840 I agree. Even with the good he did we can’t overlook the terrible things he did to allow that. #AuburnWorldHistory

Douglas even knew what he was doing was wrong as proven by the fact that he put the plantation in his wife’s name so he could deny owning slaves. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I don’t understand how the University of Chicago can just pretend that the part of its creation due to the slaves owned by Douglas in Mississippi never happened. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

Even with Douglas’s philanthropy work, it should be overshadowed by the horrible things he did to gain and maintain that wealth in the first place. #AuburnWorldHistory

“We are doing this for our children. Even if I die, it’s for the future.” This just shows how far the Egyptian people were willing to go to overthrow the oppressive government and that they were mainly doing it to ensure a safe future for the next generations. #AuburnWorldHistory

@worldhistluv I agree. Our country isn’t without flaw, but we are very lucky to have the freedom here that we do. #AuburnWorldHistory

“I’m afraid for the outcome of this situation and that the youth who are calling for change will be the first to suffer the consequences.” I think this quote along with the violence the citizens faced shown in the video show exactly why Egypt needed change. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

Even with how terrible the situation in Egypt was, it was really great to see how the people can unite under one common goal. #AuburnWorldHistory

@PrestonFhistory Yeah I found that interesting as well. Even with doing several short sets a night it has to be very exhausting still. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I found it interesting how mainly women enjoyed Freedia’s music because even though there is still some “superagrressive, sexual lyrics,” they felt more like “the agent of all this aggressive sexuality instead of its object.” #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I found it interesting how New Orleans even back in the ‘40s and ‘50s gay performers have been accepted and celebrated. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I agree with the article that historically hip-hop culture has not been very acceptant or tolerant of the homosexual community. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

@ivey_ansley I agree there’s always a point where technology can do things faster and better than humans reducing the number of jobs. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

Even after reading the article, I still find it hard to find a true meaning to neoliberalism because it is referred to as several things and ideas. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

A quote I found interesting in the interview was, “And of course crises produce the conditions of future crises.” #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

It seems that Harvey believes neoliberalism is a project used to “curb the power of labor.”#AuburnWorldHistory

I couldn’t begin to imagine having to pilot a plane with a nuclear bomb in it for any amount a time much less 24 hours. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

@stone_gwennyth I agree, even today I am still sometimes fearful of the possibility of a nuclear war. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I’ve always found it kind of interesting that the Cold War was not a direct Russia against US “war”, but has still had such a huge impact. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Houston @Huey_trex]

I really liked how much new information I learned about the Cold War from this video especially since we didn’t go into a ton of detail when learning about it in high school for me. #AuburnWorldHistory
