YES! This is the best idea. I’ve taught both 1491 and 1493 in my classroom and they’re SUCH a delight to teach. Even the most reluctant history students enjoy reading Mann’s work. I

Terms like "war crimes" don't capture the historical level of Israel's evil in deliberately starving a civilian population. Those who respond w/ rationalization or deflection - or label as "pro-Hamas" anyone who bears witness to Israeli depravity - have utterly lost their moral compass: is.gd/cMZS6R

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
