I just have to second Paula’s sentiments. Powerful words. Ignorance of the past is no longer an excuse. Ignoring historical trauma is no longer acceptable. Trivializing the past as a tool used to maintain structures of power: “I always thought that anybody who told me I couldn’t live in the past was trying to get me to forget something that if I remembered would get them into serious trouble.” — Utah Phillips, oral historian, poet, and activist Thank you, Joel Sent from my iPhone On May 6, 2018, at 2:37 PM, Poindexter, Paula <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: So powerful! Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that the National Museum of Peace and Justice is a memorial to more than the 4,000 African Americans who were victims of lynchings but also their families, offspring, and countless others who were affected by this brutal and senseless crime.
