This really is an important milestone in American history, and a long time coming.

Let me explain.
More than a century ago, the NAACP established an Anti-Lynching Committee to record statistics on the epidemic of lynchings of African Americans and to press for legislative change.

Here's a page from their report in 1921, for instance:
The NAACP also sought to raise public awareness of lynchings, through public acts like this famous banner, which all too often flew outside the NAACP headquarters on Fifth Avenue in New York.

(This particular photo is from 1936)

The president who calls his supporters the Silent Majority wants to hold a Fourth of July rally at the Lincoln Memorial as "a salute to America"?

Where have I heard that before?

Oh, right. Nixon. It's always Nixon with him.
As I noted in my book One Nation Under God, when Nixon was under fire in early 1970, he and his supporters planned a Fourth of July rally at the Lincoln Memorial which they called "Honor America Day."

Billy Graham and Bob Hope unveiled the plans this way:
Despite the Nixon administration's claims that it would be a celebration of national unity, it quickly turned into a partisan fight.

"They ought to be clubbed," one attendee said of nearby hippies who were holding "a marijuana smoke-in"

No, @Wikipedia is actually removing a fairly new myth about the 1924 Democratic National Convention from its page.

Let's dig in.
As @CleverTitleTK and @pashulman have noted repeatedly, the "Klanbake" term was used in a single paper in 1924 and then ... not really used again until 2000, when that same paper (the @NYDailyNews) ran another article on it.
washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-h…
A search on Proquest Historical Newspapers doesn't find any mentions of the term, for instance, while a Google Ngram doesn't turn up anything either.

There may have been other mentions -- NYDN isn't in Proquest for instance -- but this shows the term was by no means common.

Exclusive – Anthony Levandowski launches self-driving truck start-up Pronto.AI with claims of a hands-free, zero-disengagement cross-country trip from San Francisco to New York.
theguardian.com/technology/201…
Drive started Oct 26, covered 3099 miles in 50 hrs driving. Levandowski says he didn’t touch the wheel or pedals throughout & has released a timelapse video to back up his claims. If true this would be by far the longest drive with no human intervention
player.vimeo.com/video/30696931…
Camera-only system called Co-Pilot uses two neural nets for object detection, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control & collision avoidance: no HD maps, lidar, radar. It was deployed on a Toyota Prius for safety, expense and lower emissions during testing. Works only on highways.

@realDonaldTrump The President of the United States is lying to you. His own Presidential Advisory Committee on Election Integrity found that voter fraud is incredibly, incredibly rare. The Committee found so little evidence that it had to be disbanded in January of 2018. propublica.org/article/electi…
@realDonaldTrump Some of the only people found to have committed any form of voter fraud were Steve Bannon & Jared Kusher. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

@realDonaldTrump When Trump told you “millions of people voted illegally,” he was either lying or had been fooled by a conspiracy theory. Trump has never provided evidence for this claim, & no evidence has been found. npr.org/2018/04/05/599…

Hidden Reason democrats did not want Justice @BrettKavanaugh Nominated to Supreme Court of the United States of America is they fear "Roe V. Wade" would be Lawfully abolished for these FACTS that "Jane Doe" Norma Mccorvey was Paid to Lie under Oath

👇Full Thread👇
(1) Norma McCorvey, also known as “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, was the plaintiff that attorneys, Sarah Weddington & Linda Coffee, used in the Texas court case that struck down all laws against abortion throughout the United States. Today, McCorvey is pro-life

(2)“Entire basis for Roe v. Wade was built upon false assumptions”
affidavit McCorvey submitted to District Court of New Jersey in 2000, says: Virtually entire basis for Roe v. Wade was built upon false assumptions. No meaningful trial to determine facts was ever held
