In Every Black Man’s Eyes—Death To The Rebel - Ta-Nehisi Coates. I love that paragraph, as I love the series of posts Ta-Nehisi is doing on what he is learning about Civil War times, and Black folks in those times, beyond the primarily white oriented, surface history that we know so well. He doesn’t have tags or categories on them but when I get some time I’m going to attempt to gather them all and link them as a series (if he doesn’t do it first). I’m working on a couple of posts about my family history - one of which I had almost completed but then scrapped because I realized that I was telling it all wrong. I think it’s important to tell our stories, our people of color stories, not only of the famous but of our ordinary. I hope to gather links to others doing that as well. Fill in the spaces and break out of the “heroes or thugs” frame we are so often placed in. (photo of Ms. Wells from here)
