@EmmeMcphillips I didn't either! It really makes me wonder what other buildings I have walked by are named after slaveholders too #AuburnWorldHistory

I thought it was really cool that this included pictures too. I loved the picture at the Week of Action march. I think it's so great to educate people on what has happened in the past in hopes of a better future #AuburnWorldHistory

"The University of Chicago refuses to acknowledge this part of its heritage" It's one thing to make a mistake and admit you were wrong and move on, but not right to not accept a part of the past. #AuburnWorldHistory

"Hundreds of enslaved African American men, women, and children lived and died on that plantation to make the University of Chicago, and its $7 billion endowment, possible" I had no idea that this happened. It's crazy how many things have gone on. #AuburnWorldHistory

@oliviaelmore5 I agree! This concept can be a little confusing because labor=making money #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

"big plants used to employ around twenty-five thousand people; now they employ five thousand because technology has reduced the need for workers" Society has moved forward in a lot of ways and needing less people for labor due to technology is one of them #AuburnWorldHistory

"To me this is what neoliberalism was about: it was that political project". I feel like it's almost sad that almost everything seems to get tied into politics these days #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

"But what, exactly, are we talking about when we talk about neoliberalism? Is it a useful target for socialists? And how has it changed since its genesis in the late twentieth century?" I didn't know neoliberalism had so many different interpretations #AuburnWorldHistory

@AuburnJt I agree! I never quite understood it because the name the "Cold War" sounds like a violent war although there was no fighting #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

It's scary to think about what a nuclear war would actually look like. Although the Cold War didn't turn into a deadly war it could've very quickly #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

It's crazy to think about what would've happened if the Cold War turned into a nuclear war #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

The Cold War was a very scary and uncertain time where no one was quite sure what exactly was going to happen, if anything was going to happen #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

@KarliHawkins_au I agree! I love the passion and drive these women had to stick up for what they believed in and to not let anyone get in their way #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

@FieldsAisling I totally agree! I feel like there were so many things left out of high school history classes #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

"We Want to Set the World on Fire" is such an appropriate name for this article. I think it shows the authors passion and drive for this movement #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

Josephine Moody wrote with such passion. She was determined to see change in response to global white supremacy. Her passion really jumps out in her writing #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

"We want to set the world on fire, we want freedom and justice and a chance to build for ourselves. And if we must set the world on fire . . . we will, like other men, die for the realization of our dreams.” I think this quote is very powerful #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

Dr. Chihombori Quao really explains the issues in Africa and how they relate back to the Berlin Conference #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

"Africa and her children are defeated" I really liked how she referred to it as Africa and her children, I think that's a beautiful way to look at it #AuburnWorldHistory

[Bridget Catalano @BridgetCatalan9]

Dr. Chihombori Quao speaks with such passion and you can tell she has so much love for Africa. #AuburnWorldHistory
