1619 Project

On Sunday morning, President Trump tweeted an offensive on the 1619 Project, intimidating to reserve funding from California institutions developing the favored journalism project concentrated on the progress and influence of work. Together with his newest tweet, the President's actions raise a troubling question:

Why is that the Trump administration threatening to censor the way schools teach about slavery and racism within the United States?

The President's declaration came in acknowledgment of a tweet from an unsubstantiated account declaring that California schools were teaching the 1619 Project curriculum. In response, Trump tweeted: "Department of Education is watching this. If so, they're going to not be funded!"

The 1619 Project is long-form journalism and multimedia initiative of The NY Times Magazine, started in August of 2019, 400 years after African slaves first landed on America's shores. In its words, the project "proposes to reframe the country's memoir by setting the consequences of slavery and therefore the supplying of Black Americans at the very center of our social anecdote." The 1619 Project coupled up with the Pulitzer Center to acquire a foundation curriculum to use 1619 Project content in classrooms.

Trump's Sunday morning tweet continues a trend of his administration's provocative actions regarding educational approaches to racial injustice in America.

For example, on Friday, the Trump administration announced that it had been getting to cease diversity training deemed anti-American. During a two-page memo addressed to the leadership of federal agencies, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought specifically directed national executives to start the method of identifying contracts with race-related content that it finds offensive.

"All companies are commanded to start to locate all contracts or other company operating compared with any education on 'critical race system,' 'white prerogative,' or the other training or publication effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the us is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil," the memo states.

Despite the timing, Trump's tweet is not the first instance the Trump administration and its allies targeted the 1619 Project. In July, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced congressional legislation, titled the "Saving American History Act of 2020," with the stated purpose of "preventing federal funds from being made available to show the 1619 Project curriculum in elementary schools and secondary schools."

The recommended legislation challenges that "an activist change is now gaining impulse to dismiss or confuse this history by pretending that America wasn't founded on the ideals of the Declaration [of Independence] but rather on slavery and oppression." It goes on to state that "the 1619 Project may be a racially divisive and revisionist account of history that threatens the integrity of the Union by denying truth principles on which it had been founded."

Both Trump's tweet, also as Cotton's proposed legislation, beg a troubling question: why are Republican leaders trying to censor the teaching about the history of slavery and racism within us, and why now?

During a time when we are engaged in an emotional and increasingly confrontational dialogue over the legacy of its racist past, educators across us also are exploring ways to raised teach the narratives of racial privilege and injustice that have led to the pervasiveness of institutional racism in America. By threatening to censor content that it finds objectionable, the Trump administration isn't only treading dangerously on the underlying principles of a free and democratic society; it's also acting during a deeply hypocritical manner because it otherwise generally endorses local autonomy on problems with education and faculty choice.

But perhaps most troubling of all, Trump's tweet and, therefore, his administration and allies' arguments demonstrate a belief that history should be taught how that limits criticism. Further, Trump himself has shown that he is willing to require actions to constructively censor those whose views of history conflict with those of the administration.

That's not teaching history, that's shaping national propaganda.

For a president who proudly proclaims that he has done more for the Black community than the other President in American history, his efforts to censor the painful story of the Black experience in America are a slap within each Black's face who lived that account from the past to this.

Silent Parade Of 1917

The parade was held on July 28, 1917, along Fifth Avenue in New York City, and as Google points out the only noise, "was the battle away from the battery." Google chose the Google Doodle Silent Parade to honor "one century later."

At that time the parade was also called "silent protest parade". The NAACP organizers wrote in a PR brochure for the parade marched to awaken "conscience country".

On July 28, 1917, Google said, "The only sound on Fifth Avenue in New York City was clunk of the drums, while about 10,000 children, women and African-American men marched in silence in what became known as the Silent Parade."

This was followed by historical violence scenes in East St Louis on July 2, 1917, Williams wrote, where "the white mob's knife shovel, shot and indiscriminately blasted someone with black skin. Men, women, children, elderly, disabled - no one was spared". According to Black Past.org, violence of the audience also called slaughter of San Luis del Este and "was an important catalyst for silent parade. This terrible event took fire six thousand blacks from their homes and left hundreds of deaths."

The silent parade of 1917 was in part a protest against mob violence and lynchings of African Americans, according to Chad Williams at the University of Brandeis "had become even more scary."

Williams told the violence that preceded the parade in a column published by The Miami Herald. "In Waco, a crowd of 10,000 white Texans attended May 15, 1916, lynchning a black farmer, Jesse Washington. A year later, May 22, 1917 a black forest shaker, Ell people, was killed by more than 5,000 white seek revenge in Memphis "Wrote Williams.

'' Last second victories, right? '' McCoy said, laughing. '' I grew up as the game on. I felt more comfortable and started to realize the right to protection. We made some plays down the stretch that good teams have to do to win the game. "

This may be just the beginning of McCoy, Robert Griffin III is ready to return from a sprained ankle that kept her sidelined since Week 2 Redskins go to Minnesota on Sunday as their bye week.
