We are often asked if we are willing to die for our truths, forget that, be willing to live for them. In a moment in our history where the few are trying to erase the accomplishment of the many, it is up to us to keep our stories alive. They want to hide the history and accomplishments of People of Color, women, LGBTQ+, and many others. We don't need the government to tell our stories, they should, of course, but we can tell them, we can archive, we can preach our own gospel. We will all die, this is our chance to live. Don't let them erase the good you and your ancestors put into the world. Don't let them take your history and your joy.
@RickiTarr I actually feel optimistic that we are going to win. It's like you say: the few are trying to erase the accomplishments of the many. Despite all the people out there who have already swallowed the Flavor-Aid, there are enough of us out there that *know* history, who, alongside all those people who are now figuring it out, will stand up and say, "heck, no!"
They have overplayed their hand and they're going to get a rude awakening. This is not the fait accompli that they think it is.
