I’m a veteran. So every Veterans Day, when we start talking about service and sacrifice, I think we also need to be honest about what happened to some of the people who came home. Isaac Woodard served this country. And this country still failed him in ways I genuinely had a hard time saying out loud. I tried not to cry. I failed. #veteransday #5MinutePlus #blackhistory #historytok #fyp

I knew Albert Einstein was a physicist. I did not know he spoke at an HBCU, supported anti-lynching efforts, stood by W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Robeson, and had J. Edgar Hoover collecting paperwork on him for years. Seems like a pretty convenient chapter to leave out… #alberteinstein #civilrights #americanhistory #historytok #fyp

Replying to @Anansi Stones I don’t think enough people appreciate how unbelievably messy historical figures actually were. We put them on money. We build monuments. Then you read their personal lives and realize… These people would’ve kept TMZ in business. #presidentialdrama #fdr #americanhistory #historytok #fyp
