Gifting the plantation & learning the families that came with it were used as a wedding gift is something that makes my heart drop. I can’t imagine how belittling it must feel to be given away as a present…#AuburnWorldHistory

Selling lemons to pay for tuition is something that stood out to me. I couldn’t imagine juggling so many things at once in order to simply afford education…. #AuburnWorldHistory

@ewood6210 I was also surprised by this. Being from Kentucky you hear about different places where slave trade took place but I never imaged somewhere like Chicago having slavery so prevalent. #AuburnWorldHistory

@ewood6210 I feel like there’s so much unseen suffering behind wealth not only in the past but also the present. #AuburnWorldHistory

@CushHistory2 I think hearing someone specific instead of just a generalized story completely changed things. It’s easy to read facts but once it’s matched with someone’s face and name I think there’s an entire new meaning. #AuburnWorldHistory

As much as I hate watching it, seeing the graphic parts of the video of people being beaten really puts things into perspective for me. In order to understand the depth and seriousness of the issue there needs to be parts like that shown. #AuburnWorldHistory

“The most beautiful thing about this revolution is that we are all United.” Refreshing to see this hopeful perspective from a man in the video. It really shows me how much your attitude can change things even in bad situations. #AuburnWorldHistory

It makes me sad to hear them reference the children when they are asking to “turn the lights back on”. They have such little understanding of the depth of the greater issue but are still dealing with the consequences. #AuburnWorldHistory

@taylergagliard2 This was my first time hearing that term as well. I wonder how much more it is used in New Orleans rather than in our typical demographic.

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@WStudent123 Agreed!! I never knew the influence on that area until now. #auburnworldhistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@ewood6210 Agreed. I feel like music can always bring people together no matter the circumstances. #auburnworldhistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

I wonder why New Orleans has such a much more accepting culture over others. What do you think influenced this? #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@ewood6210 He seems very adamant about having a large movement. Do you agree or disagree this is necessary for change to occur? #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

“…if you just treat neoliberalism as an idea or a set of limited practices of governmentality, you will find plenty of precursors.” What are these precursors then? #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

“Universities have pretty much been taken over by the neoliberal projects surrounding them.” I’m confused how this is reflected especially in universities like auburn. I wish the article gave more examples of the consequences of this. #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

I’m not sure if it’s because I am not super invested in politics but when the article said neoliberalism is a widely used term today I was surprised because this is the first time I have ever heard of the concept. #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@caropchildress Agreed! There has to be a lot of trust in the people that are able to handle these weapons. #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@laurenkquigley I think being able to picture it really puts perspective behind words. In our books there are few to no pictures so having something that can accurately portray it really gives a new view point. #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@emma_decaigny I bet everyone was always on edge. I wonder how they would sleep knowing at any moment something like that could happen. #AuburnWorldHistory

[caroline browne @cbrownee01]

@ewood6210 Agreed!! Everything in life has to be proportional. Too much of something is never a good thing. #AuburnWorldHistory
