This is what red state legislators are finna do with high school us history classes. Get ready for banned terms like ‘white privilege’ and ‘American slavery,’ coupled with mandates to teach that slavery was good for African Americans.
Truth be shown! This is exactly the picture Republicans want for Black History or any contributions from the enslaved to build America! Whitewash it until it goes away!😡
Super strong message in that painting.
A sad and accurate commentary on the situation the GOP is pursuing.
Rewriting history and blocking as much as they are able.
I'm not sure. This artist, Jonathan Harris (Detroit), is online and I'm not sure he has a large presence. The visceral reactions I'm seeing here makes me think I need to somehow contact him and ask him why he doesn't have an agent or her a better one. His other works are similar in tone.
Shock>sadness>anger. This image is simple but very powerful. It will be one slice of our new reality when that guy gets into office. I hope people are buying accurate history books now before they disappear and the American Taliban rewrites everything.
