Hearing @delgadoforny.bsky.social talk re: #BlackHistoryMonth2026,
I think of #1619Project, authored by Brooklyn-based Pulitzer Prize winner @nhannahjones.bsky.social.
Before the June Primary,
I hope #GovernorVoice

Dear white people: this is the America you have been willfully blinding yourself to. Read the American history you want to pretend doesn’t exist in #1619Project. Child theft, destruction of families, selling off children to parts unknown – – this is our history!

Like fish not understanding what water is
This country is founded and fueled directly from stolen Black labor and it’s fruits per #1619project
White supremacy and patriarchy are tools people live and breathe the synthesis of this history and our failure to ever punish the South

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)
