6. History continually needs to be re-learned.

Feb 2018

And as much as I think I know, there are new things always. The biggest chunk recently for me has been how Federal postwar housing policy created and maintained racial ghettos. Federal policy until the mid-60s.

Black history needs to be learned throughout the year, not just in February.

And one thing the Trump administration has done, it has brought to the surface the racism that still exists in this country.

I always appreciate your efforts, Lauren. I met you on the internet a couple decades ago, and you were a big part of my education back then, though you may not realize it. You really are an excellent writer.
