Good point!

Yay for the Declaration of Independence. It was and is something to aspire to and build on. See @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice @VernonBurton1

@HumnEnterprises @VernonBurton1 @pawprinceton @JusticeDeferred @Harvard_Press Good article by Princeton.

[Beatrice Burton @HumnEnterprises]

Great writeup by @pawprinceton about two of their alums: Armand Derfner and @VernonBurton1's new book @JusticeDeferred: Race and the Supreme Court, published by @Harvard_Press

[georganne burton @georgbb]

So the Supreme Court of 2021 takes the route of the Court in the 1890s, allowing severe limitations to the right to vote. People, we know where this leads. See Justice Deferred! @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice

@JusticeDeferred See review in Princeton PAW dated June 28, 2021.

[georganne burton @georgbb]

I just read a wonderful review of Justice Deferred in the Princeton PAW. @JusticeDeferred @vernonburton1 #racialjustice

[georganne burton @georgbb]

@JusticeDeferred So much of the news today is a consequence of past judicial decisions. See, for one example, the Ku Klux Act of 1871 and its relevance to the Jan insurrection and the bus harassment last October in Texas. @vernonburton1 #racialjustice

I have just re-read MLK's Letter from Birmingham City Jail (1963). Wow! Every word still relevant. Here's one thought: "I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice..." @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice

[georganne burton @georgbb]

TPM just ran an excerpt from Justice Deferred on how the Roberts Court prepared the way to annihilate the Voting Rights Act. @TPM @JusticeDeferred @HC_Richardson #racialjustice

[georganne burton @georgbb]

The Progressive Magazine has a fab review of Justice Deferred @fryegalliard @USSupremeCourt #RacialEquity @JusticeDeferred

[georganne burton @georgbb]

Do not worry about "Critical Race Theory." Calling it a name so that people can fear it. Teaching about race relations is very simply telling the whole truth about our history. It DOES NOT teach children to hate our country. Absurd! @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice

[georganne burton @georgbb]

@haussamen @HC_Richardson So true. @JusticeDeferred

[georganne burton @georgbb]

Loewen is so right about how much white students need to learn about equality. @JusticeDeferred

[James W. Loewen @JamesWLoewen]

[p.2] , chance to pick up a book and see a character that looks DIFFERENT from them and thus appreciate the humanity of us all. Hence overwhelmingly White districts need diversity even more! https://t.co/N5VQ9VA26p

[georganne burton @georgbb]

I have been reading about the historiography of the studies of slavery. How can so many have been so wrong? See @JusticeDeferred @JamesWLoewen @VernonBurton1 #racialjustice

[georganne burton @georgbb]

So much of the USA today has an interesting history, sometimes horrific, sometimes heroic, sometimes both.
Tulsa Massacre; segregated neighborhoods. Did the Supreme Court have anything to do with this? Read and learn. @joelderfner @VernonBurton1

[georganne burton @georgbb]

The story of the Tulsa Massacre needs to be told. Truth has to come before reconciliation. Remember renowned historian John Hope Franklin? His father helped the community in the aftermath of this horrendous event. See Chapter 5 of Justice Deferred. @JusticeDeferred

[Ted @trom771]

There are 21 military bases in Florida, 18 in Texas, 13 in Georgia, and 7 in Arizona. Maybe the Pentagon should say they're thinking about moving these bases to states that still want to participate in democracy.

[georganne burton @georgbb]

This book amazes me; comprehensive but so readable!

[Vernon Burton @VernonBurton1]
