@LieberAU Reading articles like these, I can’t help but be taken back by how twisted our history really is.

Reading this article I couldn’t help but think about how often I hear ‘black student union’ or ‘black involvement’. For people who don’t believe there needs to be change, how could they see these things and think such a way? #AuburnWorldHistory

The photos from this article spoke volumes to me. Actually seeing people from the recent past in action. #AuburnWorldHistory

“...and transformative justice procedures will emerge directly from community-
based discussions, rather than being dictated by scholars or administrators
from the University of Chicago.”

“By deepening connections with grass-roots organizations on
the South Side of Chicago, the RAUC is anticipating that reparations remedies...” #AuburnWorldHistory

"I think it’s possible that you can make a better capitalism than that which currently exists. But not by much."

“So in that situation there was, in effect, a global threat to the power of the corporate capitalist class and therefore the question was, “What to do?”. “ it’s scary to think this may have been a possibility. #AuburnWorldHistory

I wish that the African Americans who lost their life in WWII could see what the America they fought for looks like now. #AuburnWorldHistory

Reading about these moments in history hurt my soul, because of how so much has changed but how much has stayed the same. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caroline McCrary @CarolineMccrary]

I can’t imagine how pissed off the African Americans were who fought in WWII. #AuburnWorldHistory

Watching this video I can’t help but to think about what this woman’s personal story looks like and what she herself has had to overcome. #AuburnWorldHistory

As a person of color, what does it mean to you to watch speeches like this? #AuburnWorldHistory

“African countries are one of the boxes who are constantly being thrown into the heavyweight boxing ring and we are getting on here and kicked day in and day out.” #AuburnWorldHistory

@chris06642329 It brings people’s stories to life. Truly gives an opportunity for deeper understanding.

@agr0034 I was thinking the same thing. I don’t think it’s impossible but it’s definitely a struggle.

How entitled of Europeans to declare that their way of life was the civil and only acceptable way to live. Claiming almost anything else to be “barbaric”. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Caroline McCrary @CarolineMccrary]

People often talk about how “great” western civilization is, but forget to address the devastation that got us to this point. The innocent lives ruined. #AuburnWorldHistory

I don’t think that a capitalist society is “incapable” of establishing and maintains equal rights, but I do think history speaks for itself in that there is little success in doing so. Actions speak louder than words. #AuburnWorldHistory

Instead of connection and trade at the border, there’s barbed wire, fences, and officers scattered everywhere. #AuburnWorldHistory
