Wow! A rare broadside of the Declaration of Independence, printed in 1776 in Exeter, New Hampshire, was recently found in London! Ironically, the American Independence Center in Exeter, New Hampshire owns a Dunlap Broadside printed in Philadelphia: www.unionleader.com/hidden-in-th...

"Democracy, after all, is a constant practice, not a state of being." This hold true for all levels of self-government, down to the local level. In our town and city governments there is a continuity to the present day of the principles first practiced in colonial town meetings.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Oil portrait "Child with cat" by Swiss immigrant, Edward L. Custer, Manchester, New Hampshire USA, 1873 - collection of Manchester Historic Association #Caturday

Vicorian-era painting (1873) of a little White girl seated holding a kitten. She is wearing a fancy dress ornamented with lace and has long hair. She is staring into the distance with a contemplative expression on her face. In contrast the kitten is looking directly at the viewer. The artist was Edward L. Custer, a Swiss immigrant whose family had settled in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.

From Frederick Douglass's 1867 "Composite Nation" speech, a defense of Chinese migration to the United States at a time when anti-Chinese sentiment was intensifying. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/our...

If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.

Statement by President Clinton

MY STATEMENT ON THE HORRIBLE SCENES
PLAYING OUT IN MINNEAPOLIS
AND ACROSS AMERICA
JANUARY 25, 2026
In recent weeks, we've watched horrible scenes play out in Minneapolis and other communities that I never thought would take place in America. People, including children, have been seized from their homes, workplaces, and the street by masked federal agents. Peaceful protesters and citizens exercising their constitutional right to observe and document law enforcement have been arrested, beaten, teargassed, and most searingly, in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot and killed.
All of this is unacceptable and should have been avoided. To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we've seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities.
Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.
It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - His unfinished work is our unfinished work. 🗽 Cartoonist: Dale Neselman - New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper www.unionleader.com

A cartoon depicting the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. called the Stone of Hope in Washington, DC. This is a 3-dimensional carving of MLK who is seen standing with his arms crossed as if emerging from the large block of granite behind him. Two children are walking away from the statue. The boy (who is White) says "How come his memorial looks unfinished?" and the girl (who is Black) responds "Like his work: unfinished."
