Here's some excellent history I was unaware of from near where I grew up. I apparently went to high school about 10 minutes from the first integrated school in the US. I guess they weren't great about teaching local history when I was a youngster, or maybe I just didn't pay attention..
I love when my research turns up incredible women from history that I never would have known about otherwise.
Meet Prudence Crandall, the bad-ass woman who operated the first integrated school in the US in 1831.
I told her story in my newsletter today: louisemayberry.com/blogs/louise...

"And Yet, It Still Moves"
One story about Galileo is probably apocryphal. But, in the wake of RFK Jr.’s appointment to head Health and Human Services, it’s too good to resist.

New in PN: Trump moves to destroy Columbia University
"It’s another corrupt quid pro quo like the one behind Trump’s 'perfect phone call' to Zelenskyy. Here, Columbia only gets federal funding if it agrees to violate the constitutional rights of both faculty and students on Trump's behalf."

Been looking forward to (and reading voraciously for) this for months. There are always surprise gems, entrants I would never have picked up, and entrants I was proud to "find first" (looking at you Irena Rey). Detailed judgments, saucy commentary. Fun with books and bibliophiles! 💙📚

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Attributed to the Talmud, this quote appears in Wisdom of the Jewish Sages: A Modern Reading of Pirke Avot by Rabbi Rami Shapiro. Similar ideas appear in the Quran and in Christian teachings.
