Fantastic video. I’m finding the unlearning process to be both upsetting and empowering. Upsetting because there are so many Americans that simply default into these old patterns. But empowering because I see all over young people fighting to uphold the truth.
Was that quote or remark about DuBois connected to Dr. King's "Where do we go from here?" speeches or the book? I'm a little surprised that the video is almost over and there has been no direct mention of "The 1898 Wilmington Massacre" as a case study for the coalitions of black and white laborers that scared the power structure and white supremacist to death. Actually, there are multiple lessons to be learned from studying the period of the first reconstruction and include the other primarily black towns and jurisdictions that sprang up all over the south because Wilmington was unique in that as a port town there was a more sophisticated and worldly population there, sort of a validation of studies that verify, the greater the educational levels the more liberal and inclusive the population where they are congregated. I think it should be very clear to everyone that SCOTUS needs to be expanded so there is not less one justice for each state and territorial possession, that it should be composed of every possible ethnicity and faith, every sexual proclivity and gender, in other words, make the court accurately reflect the diversity of America. A SCOTUS that reflects us will produce rulings and decisions that propel us forward into the future instead of dragging us backwards towards the 'dark ages'.
excellent book and topic!
Just marvelous
