Thank you, Dr. Tisby. What a *perfect* object lesson to illustrate just what’s at stake. Funny thing: it always seemed to me that telling the whole story, as the second marker does, WAS restoring truth and sanity to history.

Thank you for this, this morning. When I was younger, I wasn't very historically minded and there was so much I was ignorant of concerning history until I began to hit the books in my late 40's [and some other media, but mostly books]. In my early 20's, someone who I believed knew more and who I respected told me the Civil War was actually about state's rights and I believed him. That got corrected later, but it reminds me of how ignorance leaves us vulnerable to false narratives.
