Libs, be warned! As day breaks in Cville without memorials to Lee or JohnnyReb, our awareness of or even ability to discuss the Civil War vanished. Confused, we sought out libraries, documentaries & books, but are powerless to learn history absent statues of racist losers.
Worse yet, Libs, their absence is filled with stories of earlier attempts at multiracial democracy like the Readjuster party and “reluctant Secessionist” Lee’s second treason against 🇺🇸, undermining Reconstruction & Black citizenship long after Grant offered a path to redemption.
Real histories have so many words and fewer pictures than the comic book propaganda I got in schools. Reconstruction got 4 pages, and Eric Foner alone asks me to read hundreds?! And which way do I even pronounce DuBois? #Exhausting Like Lee, I clearly fought for the wrong side.

Seriously, if you're #reading down the #list going, "That's me, that's me, that's me, and oooooo is that EVER me!"

I'd definitely #recommend getting some #help with the matter.
It's taken years to be #comfortable in my own skin.
Years of breaking the old records in my head

-And as #Ralph would say, Totally worth it!

It's a freakin #relief, to cry a tiny bit in a #movie theatre at a moving point in the film, without having to expend all the extra #energy in "did someone see me?"

and that's just one tiny perk :)

I #lookforward to-
