“There can be no denying the scope and the dangers of this assault on Black history. But one unintended consequence may be a strengthening of the grassroots, fugitive channels of education that made it possible to bring our history “indoors” in the first place.” @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social
The Battle to Tell Black History
The right-wing attacks on Black studies have devastating consequences, but they won’t stop people from telling our history.

Has any book drawn more Americans leftward over the last 50 years than A People’s History of the United States? Conservatives are still saying the damage done by the book will take decades to remediate. @arh12.bsky.social interviews @edgeofsports.bsky.social about his new biography of Howard Zinn:
That’s How Change Happens
Dave Zirin on writing the life of Howard Zinn–and why his legacy points the way forward at the country’s semiquincentennial.
