I'm a historian who still sorta believes that studying the past can help us avoid making the same stupid mistakes all over again.

Absolutely. Hitler agreed to kill himself, Hirohito negotiated his unconditional surrender, and Mussolini consented to be hung upside down by Italian partisans. Let's do the Civil War now.

Yahoo news indeed. You can always count on MAGA to draw the wrong conclusions from tragedy. Seriously, though, can we get some real science education in this country?

A colleague recently saw this message while researching the Indian Claims Commission, which has nothing to do with "DEI" but got flagged anyway. Apparently, the history of our government's (problematic) efforts to provide restitution to tribes is "woke."

In 1906, at the Niagara Movement's meeting in Harper's Ferry, W.E.B. DuBois read a declaration calling for civil rights, an end to segregation, and equal education for African Americans; "either the U.S. will destroy ignorance, or ignorance will destroy the US." How's that going?
