On the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (8/29), I’m reminded of not only the destruction of my home and community, but also that the experience radicalized me. I was 17 at the time. These events below, personally and systemic, shook my worldview.

So #twitterstorians, if your U.S. history survey is supposed to start in 1877, do you actually start a bit earlier--with Reconstruction more broadly (which didn't really end in 1877)--or with a different topic?

Someone killed 14 children and 1 teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. I’m wholly devastated.

We live in a society where power absolutely refuses to protect our children. How many more kids have to die before power makes radical changes to these horrific conditions?

On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated. In 2005, The United Nations adopted a resolution to mark the anniversary of the liberation as Holocaust Remembrance Day. NCSS continues to remember the millions of innocent lives that were lost and reaffirm our vow to never forget.
