If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted.
They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.
I was talking with my mother about this the other day. I think this is her lane. We all have our part to play.

It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship.

Todayโs Black History lesson comes from Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History month.
(Lecture notes below)
Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I won that contest in 1998.
I never learned about her until I was an adult. Or Carter Woodson. Or Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Or Bill Withers.
I didn't learn WV History.
A digital illustration of Robert Smalls. His bust portrait is in the center. He is a black man with a beard, depicted in his younger days, wearing a dark coat over a white shirt and bow tie. Below him is a depiction of The Planter, the confederate steam ship he stole and sailed to Union lines to free himself and several other enslaved people with him. Under the ship is a banner with the words โMake Your Own Freedomโ. Around all this is gold filigree framing lettering reading โRobert Smallsโ. The drawing is all monochrome on a mottled blue with gold and white highlights.
I havenโt heard if weโre allowed to do Black History Month now but Iโm posting this thing I drew about Robert Smalls anyway
