I’ll be following this story excitedly! I grew up nearby Coloma and have only just learned about this history (shocker, I know). Never too late to right a wrong. #california #reparations #knowyourhistory

It was 100 years yesterday since the first #FACup final at #Wembley and it barely even got a mention here in the #UK. Football isn’t just about the #PremierLeague. It was around for over a century before the landscape changed for ever in 1992. #KnowYourHistory

We've bern here before, in the early days of the internet. You are right of course.

Before there was Max Factor, Revlon, Vidal Sasoon & Shea Moisture; before women earned their wealth instead of marrying or inheriting it. Before Oprah and even before the term “glass ceiling” was invented - there was Sarah Breedlove. Known to US as Madame CJ Walker.
The documentary “Two Dollars and a Dream” is about her remarkable life.

#OTD: Auf den Tag heute vor 99 Jahren hat die Stadt Düsseldorf die Bauerlaubnis für das Haus erteilt, in dem ich derzeit wohne.

Obwohl ich erst fünf Jahre an dieser Anschrift lebe, interessiere ich mich für den Ort. Es ist wichtig, zu verstehen, wer wir sind, wo wir sind, woher wir kommen und was hinter uns liegt: Nichts kommt von nichts!

Happy #Thanksgiving! If you'd like to learn more about 17th Century New England history, the truth of the first Thanksgiving, and the rarely taught devastating Metacom's War, I recommend the highly readable "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick. It's well researched and reads as a narrative, rather than densely academic. #KnowYourHistory!
