I barely learned anything about black history in school in the 80s and 90s in Indiana. I don't even remember Black History Month being acknowledged. Things should have gotten better since then, not worse.
I remember learning about slavery and the Underground Railroad and not much else. Not slave rebellions, not Reconstruction, not lynchings and massacres, nothing about Jim Crow, etc. Maybe vague stuff about MLK and Rosa Parks in high school? Certainly nothing about Tulsa or Osceola.
Growing up in Ohio we learned a ton about slavery because we were one of the biggest “good guy” states in the fight against it. We even had field trips to Underground Railroad Museums.
Which makes the number of confederate flags in the state all the more infuriating
But yeah Nat Turner showed up in like a sentence in the John brown paragraph.
Oh there are a shit ton in Indiana too. So aggravating.
Ugh, Indiana, where the Klan resurrected itself.
That's why the regressive troglodytes are on a rampage.
They can't stand that people are actually comparing notes on their Christofascist abuse. So they try to block anyone talking about race or anyone who is happy, well adjusted, and queer. It ruins their narrative for their own brainwashed members.
And the notes aren’t just what they do, it’s what works at stopping them. They know better than most how a lot of effective organization in the gay rights movement came from people who had been involved in labor struggles/communist organizing and/or the black civil rights movement.
Nothing scares them more than solidarity and cooperation
