Nearly a century and a half after the end of Reconstruction and the emergence of Jim Crow in the US south, a debate is raging over a Biden administration plan to forgive loans for Black and Latino farmers.
Rural whites and lending banks are protesting against what right-leaning Americans consider “reverse racism”, ignoring decades of discrimination and violence against communities of color working in agriculture. Eventually a federal judge put the plan on hold. The events of the Elaine Race Riot, which occurred between 30 September and 1 October 1919, embody why the current reparative action is long overdue. Some descendants say the riot was prompted by whites who wanted to take long held Black-owned land, while some historians say it was about white landowners keeping Black sharecroppers from organizing for better compensation.
Blacks were targeted by the rampaging whites, their bodies thrown in rivers or buried in mass graves. Saving Slave Houses – Saving Slave Houses. What Parler Saw During the Attack on the Capitol.

In August of 1619, a ship appeared on this horizon, near Point Comfort, a coastal port in the English colony of Virginia.
It carried more than 20 enslaved Africans, who were sold to the colonists. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is finally time to tell our story truthfully. The 1619 ProjectThe 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times Magazine that began in August 2019, the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative. Photograph by Dannielle Bowman.

Filmmaker George Lucas may have set “Star Wars” in a galaxy far, far away, but real-life characters and events from this planet’s history inspired his creation of the sci-fi saga.
Explore how history—some of it a long time ago and some much more recent—has been a powerful force in shaping one of Hollywood’s top movie franchises. When George Lucas developed the storyline for “Star Wars” and crafted his heroes and villains, he tapped into elements of theology, mysticism and mythology as well as his knowledge of classic films. And befitting a story set a “long time ago,” real-life history also played a central role in shaping the filmmaker’s space opera. “I love history, so while the psychological basis of ‘Star Wars’ is mythological, the political and social bases are historical,” Lucas told the Boston Globe in a 2005 interview.

LivingHistorySchool. American Experience. Lesson 5: Women's Lives Before the Civil War. The War of 1812. For two and a half years, Americans fought Against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations.
In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others. But it is a war worth remembering—a struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent. The film shows how the glories of war became enshrined in history – how failures are quickly forgotten – how inconvenient truths are ignored forever.
