I was born in 1971 and I do believe that this is the most important election of my lifetime. As for the least consequential election during that time, I’d go with 1996 but I’m curious what others think. What’s your sense, @jbf1755, @william_sturkey, @jelani9, and @HC_Richardson?

@peiferlabunc @CulbrethCougars I thought that he looked good! Post-TV Dave does what he wants to do.

My @CulbrethCougars students don’t know it but I hang out with celebrities on the weekend. (Yeah, that’s really him!)

Remembering the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing

On September 15, 1963, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, claimed the lives of four young girls—Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Denise McNair. This tragic attack came at the height of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement, galvanizing support for the struggle against racial injustice.

The outrage following this event helped pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This horrific act of hate shocked the nation and strengthened the fight for justice and equality. Today, we honor their memory by continuing to work for a world where love and peace triumph over hate.

Being racist towards Haitians never, ever, ever gets old in some quarters.

After a year and a half of not being a classroom teacher, I am thrilled to be an @CulbrethCougars social studies teacher! Can you imagine how beautiful and inspiring this classroom will look once I start putting up my Steph Curry posters?
