A Black Women's History of the United States | Kali Nicole Gross, Daina Ramey Berry

Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, "The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America"– although Independence Day is actually celebrated on July 4, the date that the wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved.

The Hate U Give | Angela Thomas

pick

This has been on my TBR for quite a while; admittedly, recent events bumped this up the list. The last couple of months, I‘ve been amazed at my own lack of awareness and perspective on the topics of #systemicracism & #policebrutality. Stories like this one serve a very important purpose to #educate people and highlight the corruption. While this story did not have the ultimate desired outcome, I have faith that a real change will come. It has to.

PurpleTulipGirl As sad as the resolution was, it felt more realistic than what I would have preferred. Which makes me sad. 4y

rethier1 @PurpleTulipGirl Absolutely 😔 Not many happy endings on this topic to-date. But as Starr said, “Yet I think it‘ll change one day. How? I don‘t know. When? I definitely don‘t know. Why? Because there will always be someone ready to fight.” #don‘tgiveup #speakup #demandchange #standtogether 🤎🤍🖤 4y

SamAnne This was on my reading list for July. Maybe I can move it up. Thanks for the share. 4y

JackOBotts @SamAnne - I‘m hoping to take my time and read slowly, so starting now with the July 10th discussion (No. 1) should work well for me. Hope you can join! 4y

Men Explain Things to Me (Updated) | Rebecca Solnit

History is bound to repeat itself if we do not learn from it.
This section is suddenly 100% relevant.
Solnit has such an eye for relevant and enlightening events. Her explanations of feminism open my mind.
