@DrMaDMo @RTEBrainstorm @MaynoothUni @Researchirel Exactly as you say @DrMaDMo — the two need to be considered together

[Rory Corbett @RoryCorbett]

@DrMaDMo @RTEBrainstorm @MaynoothUni @Researchirel Yes, the headline could be misinterpreted. As I conclude: "In spite of the importance attributed to Sloane and his collections, his legacy is a complex one that cannot be separated from the brutal realities of slavery and the enduring violence inflicted upon its victims”

[Rory Corbett @RoryCorbett]

Many thanks to Jim Carroll and the RTE Brainstorm team for publishing my short article on Hans Sloane and the banjo

[RTÉ Brainstorm @RTEBrainstorm]

Meet Hans Sloane, the Co Down man who brought the banjo to Europe. The legacy of the collector who brought the banjo and hot chocolate to Europe is overshadowed by his involvement in the slave trade, writes @RoryCorbett @MaynoothUni @Researchirel https://t.co/3EirhUVpa9

[BUCHANAN: Dublin Time Machine @RobLooseCannon]

Born in 1794, Michael "Zozimus" Moran was a street performer, balladeer, poet, satirist & national treasure with an encyclopedic knowledge of Dublin history. His intellect was all the more incredible as he was blind from infancy, so had to no written aids or formal education.

Almost 4,000 years ago an Egyptian civil servant, worried for his life, fled north and found himself in the land inhabited by strange and violent cattle herders. This is the tale of Sinuhe and his experience of Indo-European warrior culture. [THREAD]

[Daniel Ó Coileáin @DanielCollins85]

Many unionists are under impression Irish language is heritage of Irish nationalists, republicans or Catholics only, but they're mistaken. Irish has unionist and Protestant history too. Even today, unionists like @ErvineLinda speak Irish.

Here's a thread on some of that history.
