Geschichtserzählungen, die die Kontinuität von Rassismus und Ungleichheit betonen – wie das #1619Project – werden von Trump und Co. dagegen als „spalterisch“ diffamiert. Der Konflikt um Erinnerung ist zugleich ein Streit um den Zustand und die Zukunft der amerikanischen Demokratie. (2/3) #ReclaimMLK

I’m starting to see why the right is so angry about the #1619Project. Of course the minority perspectives that tarnish mainstream American mythology are the alleged reason. But I contend the real reason the #GOP hates the 1619 project is this:

#The1619Project shines a bright light on the clear line connecting #MAGA political terrorism (#Jan6th) and racial oppression (#GeorgeFloyd) under Trump with the #WhiteSupremacy political terrorism prevalent across America during slavery and the Jim Crow.

I'm going to guess it's not often one finds out part of their #FamilyHistory ended up in an #NPR article... 😳

I'm a #Woodson descendant. As a young child it was fascinating because they were my first European ancestors in the Americas. And of course there's a mythos that has been built up by intervening generations... In later years, I learned more about their story and, well, colonial history is always darker than you'd hope.

At any rate I've now learned I have African American relatives out there who are part of the Woodson story. Not a complete surprise but amazing to discover over that chasm of centuries.
