First we were supposed to overlook Nazi salutes and now swastikas and nooses are only potentially divisive? As someone who studied the Holocaust in Europe and the horrific lynchings here in the US, I am appalled and I assure you that these are symbols of hate. What are we doing?

I appreciate the article and understand why they are trying to quantify the value of libraries but their value and service to humanity is really priceless. Support your public library!

The Bill of Rights is for the people. The “people” or “persons” are mentioned throughout, not just citizens. I urge you to read the rights of the people in Amendment 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and ask yourself if we are upholding our Constitution?

Just watched a video in which someone talked about Covid making people histamine intolerant but the subtitles rendered it as "history intolerant" and honestly that seems to fit better.

So grateful that my cousin, who is a Gettysburg Battle guide, took me throughout the Battlefield and then up Little Round Top at sunset last night. I learned so much to add to Bayonets! to share with my students this year.

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.
From Smithsonian description: "This ambitious chart presents U.S. political history on a single page. Moving from left to right, a timeline of parties, policies, persons, and events courses like a river through graphic space marked in four-year intervals. The analogy between politics and springs and rivulets (that jump and rejoin their banks) is the most conspicuous feature of the timeline. The parties appear in different colors. The ascendance of a party is gauged as its stream rises above the centerline, and above the streams of other parties. The thickness of a stream indicates the party’s strength.
The diagram is meant to dramatize U.S. political history in a more accessible shape for educators and to offer a ready reference for scholars, statisticians, and statesmen. The chart itself, titled “Diagram of the Rise and Fall of American Political Parties, from 1789 to 1880, inclusive,” is from the Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, by Walter R. Houghton, 1880"
