Thanks for keeping up with these jaygee! I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say exactly I am enjoying learning more, but I am finding it interesting.

One of my favorite twitter follows is Bernice King. She shared this thread of happy pictures of her dad today and it just felt like such a wonderful celebration on a Monday morning.

This is something a lot of people like to conveniently forget. I hadn't realized John Adams was personally against slavery (just looked up why he hadn't had slaves), but he still voted to keep the institution going in the US, so he doesn't get a pass for that.

Our 3rd grade standards are wide open and vague as to what we teach in our history unit, so I teach a non-white-washed version of important US history events. We were reading about and discussing slavery the other day, when one of my very insightful girls says, "So you mean white people had all the authority and power?!" with a quite disgusted look on her face. I told her that that was the case and that our government had been set up to keep it that way. Another one piped up with "well why did they get to have all the authority? Who made it that way?" There were other very thoughtful moments and questions that I cannot for the life of me remember in the moment. But they really did a good job of seeing the bigger picture and the hypocrisy between the Bill of Rights and what life was like for slaves. Also, thanks for posting this jaygee. I've been Googling these and will definitely be discussing the Birmingham Children's Crusade when we get to the Civil Rights Era.

doublestuf that’s amazing. I saw a meme the other day that said if black and brown children are old enough to experience racism, a white child at the same age is old enough to learn about racism and what they can do if they see it happening.

So much the above. A read a tweet recently and I'm trying to find it again to post- but an Af-Am man realized in adulthood that he was taught basically the nice version of events regarding white abolitionists. He was taught (like most of us I think) that they were all good people who wanted equality for slaves. Some were but many were not. They abhorred slavery but NOT racial inequality. So the idea of white abolitionists are so much more complicated, butt hat idea never really gets expanded. Certainly wasn't in my youth, though I learned US history in an area that still called it the war of northern aggression so....
Also, even Lincoln at one point proposed freeing the slaves and them sending them all to Panama to live because he didn't believe in equality.

A couple of others not circled should also not get a pass. http://instagram.com/p/B765tK7Alr1
