#HumanZoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of #Indigenous peoples were put on public display in #USA in the early decades of the twentieth century.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nY6Zrol5QEk
Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these #NativePeoples were harassed and demeaned. Their #PublicDisplay was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the #ScientificCommunity, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning #documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how #AfricanAmerican ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on #SocialDarwinism in order to #dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of #eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on #Darwinian principles.

A question for #CanHistory #USAHistory historians in the crowd!
Since the war of 1812, has there *ever* been a time when Canadian leaders of the territory or nation of Canada have believed the USA could attempt to take over the country?

CW: US history/politics, Hooverism, snark
Reading up on Hooverism, which seems to be the US responding to a very real espionage threat with the grace and intelligence of an amoeba.

> Booth shouted “sic sempre tyrannus” after shooting Lincoln. Leon Czolgosz’s last words were that he killed President McKinley “because he was the enemy of the good people—the working people.” Caesar’s murder did not ensure the future of the Roman Republic, Lincoln’s death did not derail emancipation, and McKinley’s assassination did nothing for working people.

Jefferson: "Imagine a society with equal laws, free speech, & rulers who respect liberty." Powerful words, but TR in 1910 reminded us: "Actions speak louder." #USAhistory #democracy #acta nonverbal

OK State court dismisses reparations suit for survivors of Tulsa Racist Massacre of "Black Wall Street" residents.
'“The massacre happened 103 years ago, but it remains a vivid memory of [Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Ford Fletcher], who as young girls saw their community destroyed in the worst act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history,” the legal team explained in a statement. “As Mother Fletcher celebrated her 110th birthday last month and Mother Randle will celebrate the same birthday later this year, time is of the essence for this investigation to begin.”'

In March, finally got "They Called Us Enemy" for classroom library. Lent it to a history teacher b/c students wanted to read - studying re:internment. Had to borrow it back shortly after they finished to lend to a teacher at another high school to use.
Not sure where it is now. I think I lent it back to the first teacher? Point is, I should have gotten 2+ copies.
BTW, we have <1% Asian / AAPI students in the schools. They weren't the ones needing it.
