Did You Know This?

 "It is impossible to disguise the anti-intellectual, anti-truth, and anti-American bent of the anti-DEI fanatics. The National Park Service webpage no longer features Harriet Tubman nor extols the Underground Railroad, “the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War.” The website has scrubbed any reference “to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage.” Instead, we get a celebration of “American ideals of liberty and freedom,” CNN reports, without any explicit mention of slavery. American history without slavery—how convenient!"

from Jennifer Rubin's article "Words and Phrases We Can Do Without, April 8 in The Contrarian.

It was put back up but I don't know if it stayed. Do you follow Alt Parks on Facebook?

All the more important to keep the real stories from history alive. I’m thinking of Heather Cox Richardson, and hope she can keep sending out daily news that connects present events to real history!
