To add to @citizenstewart's #UncomfortableHistoryMonth - I guess the Daughters of the Confederacy weren't happy about the Emancipation Memorial. They had a better idea. (I put some reactions to it in the thread.) https://t.co/fvJSr0MKy0

Continuing #UncomfortableHistoryMonth. You may know that anti-literacy laws were widespread during American slavery. Do you know what the punishment was? Imagine, all these years later, a major political party wants to restore anti-literacy laws. Imagine.

If teaching the truth about Black history is being banned from schools, we can make the floor of the House of Representatives our classroom. Here's a Black history lesson for my colleagues and our country. No matter how hard they try to deny it, this is American history.

Continuing #UncomfortableHistoryMonth: The attorney for the white gang accused of raping Recy Taylor made an offer that each rapist would pay $100. When her husband refused, the attorney said "Nigger, ain't $600 enough for raping your wife?" https://t.co/LUjGgdWYjb

Continuing with #UncomfortableHistoryMonth (1919): "The mob planned to attack the two Black brothers from Boston in retaliation for what a newspaper article described at the time as their “domineering manner and ill temper." https://t.co/mS146i7OjX
