Check out the Reconstruction teaching resource by @facinghistory. It's excellent.

February 1, 1960. Four college students, David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair, Jr., and Joseph McNeil, sat down at a Woolworth lunch counter in downtown Greensboro, NC. They changed history. #Greensboro pic.twitter.com/MG4qCTdHkv

When @CoryBooker led an effort to change the debate thresholds, the DNC refused—saying they couldn’t benefit any candidate.
It seems the only candidate they’re willing to benefit is a billionaire who’s buying his way into the race. Total mess. twitter.com/politico/statu…

Wouldn't expect anything less from this Republican Congress, but watching the complete disregard of the Constitution and American democracy in real time is something.

In an election year, Republican presidents are immune from impeachment and Democratic presidents lose their ability to appoint Supreme Court justices.

Thanks for this thread. Great points. Would also add that while DuBois approached history as a science, he never believed in the false choice between fact and ideology. Always saw history as a tool to advance black freedom.

There are many insightful reactions to the critiques of the #1619Project circulating, and I thought I might add one small contribution. Wilentz's latest concludes w/ Du Bois, and that rubbed me the wrong way. I'll explain in this thread. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

A great deal has been written in the last few weeks about the efforts of a small group of historians to say the #1619project has glaring factual error that must be corrected. Others have tried to discredit the project all together. Now historians are pushing back. A THREAD. twitter.com/BostonReview/s…

This is what makes his use of DuBois so disingenuous and infuriating. DuBois' radical commitment to black equality was always too much for most white "allies." They dismissed his work, including Black Reconstruction, and with few exceptions abandoned him by the 1950s.

And just to add, yes, DuBois believed in facts and a science of history. But he also knew all too well how white historians used "objectivity" to silence black scholars and competing interpretations of the nation's past. This is what Wilentz is sadly replicating.

Great thread by @NicholasGuyatt. So disingenuous for Wilentz to invoke Black Reconstruction & make gross false equivalence between #1619Project and Dunning School. DuBois would air him out. twitter.com/NicholasGuyatt…
