“How much pain exists in the world because we cannot get past what has been done to us, because we insist on inflicting pain right back?”
Sabaa Tahir, A ​Sky Beyond the Storm

David W. Blight
“In August, Douglass righteously claimed that “everyone knows that this is the slaveholders’ rebellion and nothing else.” The war, he said, was the work of a “privileged class of irresponsible despots, authorized tyrants and blood-suckers, who fasten upon the Negro’s flesh, and draw political power and consequence from their legalized crimes.”
David W. Blight, Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom

“Teaching children about great men enforced a sense of a great nation, a version of history which could be distributed along the length and breadth of vast empires. Controlling access to the past controls populations in the present, and determining who writes history can affect thought and behaviour. Famously the Nazis created a version of German history which cherry-picked and repackaged information so as to benefit the regime's agenda.”
Janina Ramírez, Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of it
