pickThrough interviews with over 1200 people over 15 years, Isabel Wilkerson tells the story of The Great Migration. Focusing on three very different individuals, she shares the different reasons for leaving the Jim Crow South, the struggles of their journeys, and their experiences in their new homes. Interspersed were the events of the Civil Rights movement. Very enlightening and informative. I truly appreciate Wilkerson's style and approach.

pickThere are only 8 species of bears alive in the world today. This interesting and thoughtful nonfiction book explores their history, the culture and mythology around them, and the way they interact with humans. The effects of government policies, public perception, and climate change are also explored, through scientific research and anecdotal evidence. Thought-provoking and very readable.
Looking forward to our #Naturalitsy discussion.
Had to google this painting as it isn't printed in the book, and the description fascinated me. Memorial portrait made by siblings Gerard and Gesina Ter Borch after the death of their youngest brother, Moses who fell in battle against the English. Look at that hair! The pose! The pieces of his armour! The time pieces! The snake! The random skull and puppy and huge conch shell. ❤️💔
It‘s nice to start a weekend trip with a new book!
First a stop at Books Are Magic and now some ice cream. Love visiting a new-to-me bookstore on a trip! #BooksAreMagic
I rarely cover vocab on here, but thought I would share a new word: #mugwumps #impeachment #socialstudies #vocab #timothynaftali #ushistory #history #teaching
So I like this quote because it reminds me of the Trump trials today. No matter what evidence is presented against Trump, his supporters will always find a way to rationalize it. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #psychology #politicalscience #ushistory #uspolitics #history
