![]() ![]() The story then flashes back to 2009 where John Lewis is able to shake hands with Barack Obama at his inauguration.īack to 1963, sixty-three protesters had been arrested in Selma, Alabama following the bombing. Diane Nash, her husband James Bevel, and John Lewis came up with a plan to march to the capitol with the goal of forcing the governor out of office and securing the African American people's right to vote. This bombing may have been spawned by Governor George Wallace who had declared segregation forever just two weeks prior to the event. King spoke about the dead children, and he knew the African Americans needed to continue to fight for their rights. These events all occurred in September of 1963 and resulted in the deaths of several African American children. A police officer shot a sixteen-year-old boy and claimed it was an accident. Others drove through the town throwing rocks. ![]() ![]() Then teenagers who had been at a Klan rally heard about the bombing and shot a thirteen-year-old boy.

Progressives return fire by pointing to writings in which he declared African Americans to be unequal to whites, and his proposed plan to resettle emancipated Black people to Central and South American colonies. Republicans reflexively remind people that Lincoln was one of theirs, citing his reputation as the Great Liberator whenever they deny their party's devotion to racist campaign tactics and legislative policies. Understanding this in the context of this documentary series is crucial, since partisans have battled to claim Lincoln's legacy for decades, long before the ginned-up hysteria over "critical race theory" came into being. And this bolsters the efforts to cement structural inequality in place. ![]() This would effectively erase, rewrite or downplay the most significant contributions by figures who aren't white, straight or Christian from school texts even more than they already have been.

There is an alluring atmosphere of gossip as the undercurrent of the show, which is exactly what my pandemic-fatigued brain has ordered. The show came out on Christmas day, and it only has eight episodes (and renewed for a second season). Racially diverse cast? Shondaland? Fancy clothes? Fictional rich people problems? No mention of pandemic? When I saw the trailer announced, I don’t need to tell you that my hopes were HIGH for this show. It’s about a rich family, and each title in the series covers a different sibling. ![]() If you don’t have Netflix, you might be wondering, What is Bridgerton? Why are people so excited about it?
