W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

NEWS: @governor.ca.gov & I are suing to put a stop to President Trump’s unlawful, unprecedented order calling federalized National Guard forces into LA. Trump is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends. This is an abuse of power—and not one we take lightly.
