@time4skyy Yea, he really did extract the most out of his workers and this is the main reason so many of them died.

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

I read that about 33% of the slaves that Douglass owned had died working for him. Slavery brought about so much violence and death. #AuburnWorldHistory

Alabama is known for its racist & confederate past. It’s good to learn about the state we attend school in isn’t a place with very good history, but it’s made major strides over the years. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

Douglass was a man who became w wrapped in his wealth and that wealth made him greedy. #AuburnWorldHistory

When you’re forced to start working at a young age like that, I’m sure it really makes you mature and grow up much more quick than most kids around the world. #AuburnWorldHistory

@kylevachistory Yes! In todays world, social media can really do wonders when trying to spread a message or get awareness for something!

Child labor is something many of us in this country don’t really think about because most of us don’t start working until late high school/college, and even then we aren’t doing the long and tiring tasks that the Egyptian children are doing #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

I really didn’t not know about the current political state of Egypt. Very thankful to be in America. #AuburnWorldHistory

We live in such a diverse and inclusive society today. Tyler, the Creator, who is an openly gay male rapper, has won 2 Grammys in the past 4 years for best rap album of the year. He has really done a lot for rap and music as a whole. #AuburnWorldHistory

@Huey_trex I agree this was unexpected but also makes sense once you really think about it

New Orleans was the hub of this hip hop surge. Although Yeezy=🐐, Weezy is definitely up there and he is from NOLA. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

Being a big hip hop fan myself, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about it even more and seeing what kind of impact it made to the culture. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

They say that neoliberalism is a widely used term today, but considering most of us can’t really pinpoint a clear definition, maybe it just goes on in our society and we don’t even notice it. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

Mainly the ruling class would implement neoliberalism as a way of reducing state influence on the overall economy. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

@afhistorictweet Lol this is very true. It seems like no one knew what it was before the reading

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

Neoliberalism is a tricky subject because it is quite a confusing concept to grasp. According to google, it’s an ideology used to describe the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

@wardamchess Very true, I think memes are a great way of lightening up serious subjects while also still having something to say about the issue at hand

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

Just to think about what could’ve happened to humanity and where we would be today if the world decided to fire of all those nukes back in the Cold War. How Many people would’ve died? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Tommy Albanese @Tommyalbs8]

The film does a good job of depicting how dangerous and serious nuclear weapons are while still keeping jokes coming left and right. I also learned a great deal through all the comedy #AuburnWorldHistory
