Biblioracle: Let’s acknowledge and celebrate Black History Month, while recognizing that for too long, too much of American history has been white history.
"Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement" by Kimberlé Crenshaw, Neil Gotanda, Gary Peller and Kendall Thomas;"The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story" by Nikole Hannah-Jones and editors Caitlin Roper, Ilena Silverman and Jake Silverstein;"Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past" by Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer.
So we need a month to remind the citizenry about Black history, even though in a just world we would simply call Black history American history.This was the message of “The 1619 Project,” first a magazine feature, then a book and now a Hulu miniseries.
Nikki Haley, another likely future presidential candidate, recently tweeted that critical race theory “is un-American.” I’m sure this appeals to some portion of her political base that has been convinced that an academic theory, which is an attempt to explain the persistent inequality in this country, is some kind of boogeyman. But truly, this is telling on herself, an acknowledgment that she is too afraid of an idea to take it head-on.
