@AbigailCThomas In addition to this, he knew how violently they were treated by the overseers he hired, but he did not do anything to better their conditions.

Slave overseer Arnold Lashley let 53 slaves die throughout 16 months, and Douglas knew about this yet did nothing about it. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

Douglas was able to expand his wealth and prosper while in reality the backbone of his success were the slaves he owned in Mississippi, who suffered under terrible conditions. #AuburnWorldHistory

As someone who has grown up so close to Chicago, I was shocked and saddened to hear how the university does not acknowledge their harmful beginnings. #AuburnWorldHistory

@natalierich217 I agree, it is inspiring how well people can care for each other when they unite for a common goal.

"For the first time in our lives we couldn't be silenced. We claimed our freedom" Tahrir Square made an enormous change in Egypt and the world. #AuburnWorldHistory

When asked if he was fearful of what may happen to him for supporting this protests, Khalid responded by explaining how important these causes are to him and that he does not care if he becomes a target. #AuburnWorldHistory

The Square: "This is when we realized that people are the true power." This film does a great job of emphasizing the importance of uniting for the common good. #AuburnWorldHistory

@cbrownee01 I think that New Orlean's acceptance allowed other cities to follow suit, for example Dallas, as the New Orleans performers spread their during Hurrican Katrina

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

"It's as if punk had been reinvented for women." As performers like Freedia and Katey started to perform, it allowed women to create a safe space where they could enjoy their music without harm. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

I enjoyed hearing about how even during the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, bounce performers were able to perform in other parts of the country and continue to make music. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

"There's just something in the culture that's a lot more lax about gender identity and fanciness." It is inspiring to hear about how accepting New Orleans culture is. #AuburnWorldHistory

@caroline82202 I agree. The article gives a good example of this when he brings up how an auto plant went from 25,000 employees to 5,000.

Harvey explains his opinion that capitalism cannot improve by much, and it can't improve at all without a massive anticapitalist movement. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

" I don’t think capitalist class solidarity today is what it was. Geopolitically, the United States is not in a position to call the shots globally as it was in the 1970s". Would you agree or disagree with Harvey's statement? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

"And of course crises produce the conditions of future crises". I think this theory is applicable to multiple things in addition to politics, but the way it is used in the article to describe neoliberalism helps it make more sense. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

@caropchildress I agree! It is also crazy to consider how this powerful machinery could fall into the wrong hands

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

Dr. Strangelove emphasizes the importance of the balance of power and how too much power in the hands of the wrong person can be catastrophic. #AuburnWorldHistory

"War was too important to be left to the generals." What is your interpretation of this quote? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Elizabeth Wood @ewood6210]

The movie makes an interesting point when the general tells the president that he should be less concerned about his image and more concerned about what is best for the American people. The legacy we want to have has a big influence over our choices. #AuburnWorldHistory
