Today was a great start to my week! I enjoyed leading this engaging session about Josiah Henson & the Dawn settlement w/ these insightful young men in advance of their trip to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. A fresh reminder of the imp of Black Ss learning about Black history @WRT_PDSB
What did we do? The focus was to examine Josiah Henson, the real man, outside of the literary text that he inspired. In centering him, we can gain an appreciation of his humanity and agency, gain insight into his perspective and that of other freedom seekers who came to Cda.
Began by starting a K-W-L chart. I showed the last 15mins of a new docu, Josiah, to show when Josiah and his wife Charlotte decided to flee w 4 children to Cda, then a few yrs later helped to establish the Dawn settlement tvo.org/video/document…

1/ This is the problem with anyone representing #ADOS. U r essentially supporting a group that centralizes the *supremacist* theory that #ADOS have some sort of blood purity over *other* Americans of African descent because their ancestors went through slavery. @TalibKweli 📜📜📜
2/ A theory, not only supremacist but a *fallacy*. The pillar of the #ADOS screed 4 reparations is their reputed *specific* claim because they r descendants of persons enslaved during US chattel slavery & Jim Crow. There are a significant number of people living outside but
3/ particularly inside the US who may not be even more than two or three generations in, whose ancestors went through US chattel slavery and escaped during the revolutionary war or slightly afterwards, and colonized with the help of white abolitionists countries in West Africa.

Well. Today's our last chapter for Anne of Green Gables. Are you ready? I'm not sure I am XD But let's do it anyways. #LainaReadsAnne
#LainaReadsAnne Marilla comes home from the oculist rather walloped by the news she got there. He said if she wears the glasses he gave her, stops reading and sewing and anyting that'd strain the eyes, including crying, her headaches will be cured and her eyes won't get worse.
#LainaReadsAnne If she doesn't, she'll be blind in six months.

The news hits her hard. She doesn't know what she'll do if she can't read or sew or how she's supposed to help that she's lonesome and cries.

I want to preface this with the fact I am not a Trudeau supporter, I did not vote for him, and I think his treatment of Aboriginal communities and lies he has told regarding promises made to those communities is abhorrent.
MEGA THREAD

The purpose of this post is to fact check the "Yellow Vest" Movement.

Before I start, I want to make it clear that I understand there are people who do have legitimate fears and concerns about their livelihoods, and I think sometimes those fears are misdirected and come from a place of misinformation provided to them for political gain.
