#OnThisDay in 1948, Puerto Rico’s Gag Law (La Ley de la Mordaza) was signed—criminalizing flags, songs, & speech in favor of independence. Owning a Puerto Rican flag became illegal. The Gag Law remained in effect for nine years until it was repealed in 1957 on the basis that it was unconstitutional.

We have only done a few movies twice on Historians At The Movies, but I think Rob Reiner’s work should be on that list. Join us on Disney+ this Sunday, December 21 at 8pm eastern for THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

A reminder that I mostly left Twitter because I was getting so relentlessly sexually harassed on there that I basically couldn't do anything anymore & there are a group of women who all have similar experiences and we all talk about it with each other! This stuff sucks so much!

Opinion: Yes, the Panama Canal was built at a dear price — paid in Black lives
Trump is right to lament the lives lost for the creation of the canal. They were mostly Black Caribbean migrant workers, living and dying under Jim Crow conditions that the U.S. imposed in Panama.
