You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

The GOAT speech never more apt.
“This July 4th is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, [is] inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony.”

“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” by Frederick Douglass
This is the perfect time to read the entirety of Frederick Douglass’s famous speech, and not merely because of the date on the calendar.

Their stadium rests on the rubble of dispossessed brown people, just the continuation of doing the bare minimum to support those communities
The text of the Dodgers' announcement does not specifically mention immigration raids or ICE. Just says "...recent events in the region." Does mention hearing the call to take action, which it did, after two weeks of silence. www.mlb.com/press-releas...

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.
