There's a ton going on, but make time for this. It gets to the corruption behind all of this.

Should do a school trip to Grimsthorpe really, it’s only up the road and we could go in the mini-bus. We could sit in the chamber where Henry VIII rode his horse to the privy council meeting (so legend has it) #historyteacher #localhistory

PBS documentary - EVERLASTING Life & Legacy of Medgar Evers
Highly recommend.
Medgar Evers punched by the bus driver for sitting in front row, & did not punch back b/c it would shift focus from the brutality & injustice of the Law. Aware of the depths of hatred but going forward w/o despair
