@ihnoft_ This reading makes me wonder if anyone at UoC has tried to act on the history of the university and make ammends? #AuburnWorldHistory

It is crazy to think that the founding of one major university was funded almost entirely by slavery, it makes me wonder about the founding of Auburn and other universities. Are there other stories similar to this one? #AuburnWorldHistory

The underground story of Douglas's rise to political power and wealth is very interesting but also alarming how one man was able to finesse his way to wealth in such a way, at the expense of 150 enslaved African Americans. #AuburnWorldHistory

The description of Mr. Robert Martin's plantation is extremely impressive, worth over five million dollars in today's society. I didn't realize how big some of these plantations were, they sound like their own city by themselves. #AuburnWorldHistory

@bayt123 This is scary to think about, what would happen if there was a historical revolt in the United States, what would come out of the other side? Would it be for the better or make things worse? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

One of the biggest scenes that stood out to me was the thousands of people gathering in "the square" for a rally, that was a very powerful scene and you could feel the desire for reform. #AuburnWorldHistory

"We want to live as humans in this country." The fact that that sentence was even said is absolutely insane, I had no idea that the Egyptian people experienced this. #AuburnWorldHistory

Watching the videos and hearing about the emergency law under Mubarak's dictatorship was very discomforting, but also very eye-opening to the horrors of what actually goes on. #AuburnWorldHistory

@jordynwoodley12 The article stated that Big Freedia and some other bounce rappers who claimed to be homophobic were beginning to branch out and be booked in places other than the cultural melting pot that is New Orleans because of the "novelty" that is their sexual identity. #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

I googled Big Freedia and on the Wikipedia page written about her, both his and her pronouns are used, To me, that is very odd and I do not fully understand how one can do that. #Auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

It is crazy to think how in today's society there is an entire subgenre of music dedicated to homosexual rappers, that really reflects the cultural standards that are valued today. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

To the best of my knowledge, I have never heard a bounce rap song, but it sounds very vulgar and inappropriate by this description. As is most rap today. #AuburnWorldHistory

@caropchildress This is exactly how I feel. I read this whole article and still really didn't have a good understanding of neoliberalism, is it an idea, a political theory, or an actual movement? #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

Harvey claims that he would rather talk about anticapitalism than anti-neoliberalism because there is a need for an ideology that keeps capitalism at bay. A checks and balance system so to speak. So that big corporations to not overstep their boundaries. #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

The threat against capitalism was characterized by threats of ideology, labor, and politics. So neoliberalism floods these aspects with ideas to cut down the big corporations of the world, the ones believed by neoliberals to be causing all the trouble. #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

"They had to struggle to curb the power of labor by whatever means possible. Out of this there emerged a political project which I would call neoliberalism." So neoliberalism is the response to the global threat of capitalist power. #auburnworldhistory

@kyle_auburnhist The immense fear that came with the ability to literally destroy an entire city or more will never be fully understood by the people in today's society until they experience it for themselves like the people during these times did. #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

This Hollywood depiction of war does not serve any justice to just how brutal the Cold War was. shooting at each other in an abandoned town and holding conversation in the process just does not seem very real😅 #auburnworldhistory

[Andrew Kellum @MountHistory2]

"But today, war is too important to be left in the hands of politicians" this quote makes me think just how well the politicians understand what is going on during a war. Do they fully understand the weight that each move holds in war? #auburnworldhistory

Strangelove is a traitor! Good for him, no one wants to work for the Nazis. He gave the US some valuable insight into the strategy and technology of Germany. #auburnworldhistory
