pickCan't think of a better time to get this one off my tbr.
pickI started this one a few years ago & then life got busy & I put it aside. I‘m happy that I finally went back to finish it. I had this cathartic moment as I was finishing that the topics & subjects covered in this book are really difficult things to face & come to terms with. Not making excuses for people because they just need to unlearn that sh—. But I can also see why people can‘t unlearn it. US history is so entwined with racism that most don‘t
#realhistory Erasure of stories & history is becoming a real & scary thing in the US. There are many people in our society that have made significant contributions, not just white men. It‘s important to keep pushing back on this new narrative. Diversity makes us better, Equity makes us better, Inclusion makes us better.
1. Spent the night with my sister on Friday. We went to a lovely choral concert and the next day to a cat themed art show.
2. The former pastor of my church came back as a special speaker and offered some good insight into coping with…all this.
3. I took some old towels and a blanket to the animal shelter and learned they have a pet food bank.
4. I got a much needed haircut.
5. Two interesting Black History Month presentations. #5joysfriday
pickA quick read touching on Texas history that you may not know surrounding Indigenous and enslaved people. The author reminds us how important it is to know our history, and that you can both love and criticize something at the same time. This is an ongoing and important lesson to remember in these frightening times.
It‘s Black History Month a selection from the collection. Reminds me I need to do a major reorganization!So many titles lost in stacks , shelves & piles. I haven‘t read all of these either.
